ok i just got my xbox back from microsoft and i wanted to know how i would tell what they gave me as far as shipset and dvd drive can some one help me
Take of your front faceplate off. Look at the drive there should be a little hole there. If you see white wires you have a benq, Yellow Wires is a lite-on, red and black is a sammy and a plastic piece is a hitachi. Far as chipset I have no Idea without cracking it open.
With a repaired console, usually they keep the same case and send new internals to you. I'd say if you had a 90nm CPU/GPU when you sent it in, they will give you a different 90nm CPU/GPU back. You can look on the back of the console. 16.5 = Xenon/Zephyr 14.5 = Falcon 12.1 = Jasper If you get the same case back, would be to crack the case open and look at the heatsinks. Follow necrana's advice about the DVD drive to find out which one you have.
