PSA: Xbox Power Cord Recall
Microsoft announced Thursday that it will recall over 14 million power cords for the Xbox game console. The recall covers all Xboxes manufactured for Europe before Jan. 13, 2004 and the rest of the world before Oct. 23, 2003. All Xboxes manufactured after these dates were redesigned to avoid the issue.
Apparently original Xbox power supply/cord design is a fire hazard due. Microsoft claims that the risk is fewer than 1 in 10,000.
If you have an Xbox, go to the Xbox website and request a new power cord. Microsoft is replacing the cords free of charge. You will need the serial number and manufacture date off of your console, so be sure to have that handy.
