Hey guys!! It's been a while (January?) since I posted on the Jasper forum.
My Jasper Pro 60GB has been rock solid since December. I am very happy with the purchase so far.
It's really sad that there hasn't been a black Jasper discovery yet. Don't give up hope! If they're making them...
denis74,
I never got to see which plant made his XBOX while looking at his pics. I got the CSON Jasper Pro.....
Hmmm....I must say, if I had to make a pick, I'd take the solid capacitor Jasper board over mine anyday....simply for the fact it will reduce the possibility of another...
Because of the holidays, $$$ has been tough to come by. Getting the wife acceptance certificate for a $35 RC thermal sensor has been tough....but I'm working or her. :)
Doing the heat comparison is definitely on my short list of projects.....I've been dealing with a rebooting wireless...
First rule of thumb like the others have said.....don't shake it. Nothing good will ever come from it.
Anyway....NO, there is nothing wrong with your XBOX 360. In the front, by the memory card ports there is a cage that houses a small ball. My speculation is that this is the sensing...
realjetavenger, what you are describing, I believe, is a licensing issue. Once I got my Jasper, I had to go to the xbox site and transfer all my content licenses to the new xbox. Many recall here, that I went through 3 new Falcons recently while searching for a Jasper. Overall I had 5 xboxes...
Awesome news currentswillshift!! It's great to hear that you scored a Jasper!!!.
It's funny that you say "Finally I can have my life back...." I felt the same way. AND, my wife was probably happier than I was....because it mean the end to the senseless trips out to the stores coming home...
Thanks for the reply Agentbolt!! I had no idea that NXE still occupied that much flash ram. 80 megs is still enough to get some game saves on it.
That leads me to another question then. If NXE is still eating some space on the 256 mb flash ram on the mobo, then why can I boot the Jasper...
Hey Arcade Jasper owners:
I have a question and I'm not wanting to tread through 50 pages to get the answer if it was already revealed.
On the arcade Jasper units, once the NXE update is installed, how much storage memory is left afterward? I have a friend who wants an arcade, but no hard...
Well, I won't have to buy my 6th XBOX :). My brother has a Falcon, albeit an older Falcon...but nontheless a Falcon. Once I find a temp gun at a local RC shop that won't dent my wallet too much I'll consider running a test. I have to talk my brother into letting me popping the top off his...
Hi guys,
I hope everybody finds their Jasper before Christmas arrives. I am very happy with mine. One word of caution...please don't take it for granted that this new XBOX is indestructable. Don't go placing it on the shag carpet or anything like that.
If you recall, I deliberated...
Branj812,
I removed the pad on both and applied some OCZ Freeze until the Coollaboratory liquid metal pads arrive. Now, I understand the dynamics behind using a better thermal interface material, but I can also understand why Microsoft used the pads. The pads that Microsoft are so thick...
I can tell you from my personal experience, that my Jasper Pro (CSON) is the most quiet of the 5 other xboxes I've had. BUT, mine has the Nidec fans, which many feel are less audible than the Delta's.....the arcade Jaspers (FDOU's) are being packed with Delta's.
BUT, the fans are a serious...
Jasperhunter,
I wish I had read your post before I got to work. I have many pics, but not of the box. I will take a pic when I get home tonight and add to flickr.....
Now for the pics of the Jasper XBOX 360 Pro (money shot baby!!! :D )
Anyway, I have much clearer pics this time...
Well, we're seeing a major roll out on the Arcade and Pro Jaspers..........that's good to hear.
Who's going to be the lucky gamer to get the 1st Elite Jasper??? I'm actually suprised that the first two confirmed Jaspers came out of Michigan. I would have guessed the west coast would have...
Has anyone a similar experience as I had when setting up the Jasper?
What I mean, is.....I've now had 5 XBOX'S with HDMI. Everytime I would do the initial setup, the screen would detect the optimal resolution as 1080i for my Panasonic TH50PX600U plasma tv. BUT, with the Jasper, it...
Awesome Jasperhunter!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like they're starting to roll out in greater number now.
FWIW....I kinda feel bad now. I returned the lot 0837 and when i bought the Jasper, all I had to do was buy Ratatouille ($19.99) and I got a $50 gift card to boot!!!!!!!!!!!
Well everybody, my Jasper search is over!! Free at last...free at last!!! :)
I got a Japer Pro Holiday Bundle at the Tri-County BB for those in the Cincinnati area. I think I got the last Pro Jasper on the floor, but they had at least 4 Arcade Jaspers on the floor that I confirmed through...
Leyward,
Defintely go to Dayton store over Muncie Store. The dayton BB is a big mover in that area and if I would choose between the two.....choose Dayton. (BUT LOOK AT MY LUCK!! :) )
YMMV, but you could always ask to get a geek on the phone and ask if they could squirt off some lot #'s...
Thanks for the support Jopopsy!
My window for the return ends Dec 17th....so if I don't find one by then, I'll have to go without a XBOX 360 for a while. I'm sure I'll get one, the impatience makes it worse. I'm sure most everybody knows how I feel, otherwise we wouldn't be here sharing the...
Bboyhacks,
Did you get a chance to peek in the windows of the 842X arcades for amp readings? When I was there last week I didn't find any 842X's...just 841X's.
I wish I had better stuff to post than my measly needs. Since the discovery of Jaspers, I've pretty much been a spectator. All...
Arrrrrrrggggggggghhhhh!!
I am getting so frustrated. I just went to a local BB that put out a crapload of arcades and pros.......836 pro's and 30-40 TMEM arcades. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???. Watching all these people in the thread getting Jaspers is giving me "Japser envy"...... :)
I heard about the audio glitch. I've heard it's hit and miss with some. I never got the audio loss nor have I encountered anyone who suffered it.......
I talked to two BB employees tonight. Both of these stores had zero arcades on the floor. I asked both of them if they had any arcades...
Bboyhacks,
I brought my XBOX with me to work today in case your store gets some new arcades. How long before you find out if any arrived?
hehe.....hairdryer trick. Wax paper works great to preserve the sticker until you're ready to put it back on. ;)
You know what works great to...
Has anybody heard of anyone using Coollaboratory Liquid MetalPad on the XBOX 360's?
They claim that these are suited for consoles now and finally safe for aluminum heatsinks. I remember reading that the original, mercury-like TIM, didn't play very nice with aluminum.
Once I get my hands...
Jasperhunter,
I wanted to give you props on the 150 watt PSU thing. I never doubted that the 150w PSU was in the works, but I was doubtful that it was meant for the Jasper. I'm big enough to admit when I am wrong.....
It is funny to see all the different configurations of Falcons now...
Daveh2os,
I'm in Ohio, and so far all I've seen are 0841X arcades, 0842X Pros & Elites. So far, all the pro's and Elites have 14.2 amps printed in the "windowed" area of the box.
I can't take another chance...I have to see the amp rating before I pull the trigger now. Even though the...
I saw a 0842X pro holiday bundle at the local BB.
It had "XBOX 360 ARCADE SYSTEM VALUE BUNDLE 2008 E" sticker on it as well...
But when I peeked at the amps through the window....it read 14.2 amps...So I'm conflicted now :(
Has anyone got a disguised Jasper yet?
When I look at AF Boxer's photos, it looks like a reflection....possibly coming from a camera flash??
Better photos would help. AF Boxer, you willing to snap some more shots? Maybe some with and without flash.....
Maybe taking pics of the connector that goes into the socket on the XBOX...??
post #217090 page 29 on 8bits......
mtsjtb kill-a-watted his 0839X CSON (0840 on serial)
same readings as Falcon.
I can't complain about my 0837 FDOU....it ran Halo 3 and never got over 118 watts throughout the 1st lvl...
I believe the last CSON spotted was mtsjtb's lot 0839X/0840 (0839X on outer carton / 0840 on serial #)
We've been stuck there for about a week now.
0842X FDOU's seem to be plentiful on the west coast. Although nobody has put a kill-a-watt to one yet. Those are the newest ones that I can...
Nobody really knows at this point. It was once speculated that it meant the inclusion of the NXE flyer, but both my lot 0836 & 0837 had the NXE flyer.
Some Speculated that it came preloaded with NXE, but time locked....but nobody confirmed.
Remember on mtsjtb's pics, his pics had some capacitors that I had not seen before? Well, I found a pic of another XBOX mobo using it.

This was an older Xenos board. Someone was trying the heat gun method to un-RRoD their XBOX...
Buy the XBOX on Black Friday and don't open it. Make sure you get a gift reciept. Most likely, you'll get an extended period for a return on a christmas purchase. Normally, you'll get until the end of January or something like that. By that time, if jasper is out....it is a simple exchange...
I'll have to re-examine my 0837 again. I plan on ripping it apart tonight. I'll post pics and readings from Halo 3 too. But, when I hear people talk about 4+2 layout, I took it for granted that people were referring to the taller black capacitors as on Anand's site and on Ben Heck's site...
