Here's the deal, I had to send my Xbox 360 in for repairs and borrowed my friends. I just got home with it and it works, but I wanted to make sure [before extensive use] that what I'm doing is alright. I have a power brick from when I bought my system in March '06, so it should be the first chip and model. That being said, my friend got his maybe a little over a year ago? Not sure but he has the already-integrated HDMI port on his system.
I know between the different chips that their power base is different. So is it alright to use my old power brick with his newer model console? I don't want to ruin his console. He is out of town so that is why I chose to borrow his.
Xbox 360
Platform »
The Xbox 360 is the second game console produced by Microsoft Corporation and is the successor to the original Xbox.
Can I use an old power brick with a newer console?
Yes. Older power bricks will work with newer consoles. The cord is made in the way that it fits in newer consoles, but newer bricks won't fit in older consoles. It's in the same vein as putting a 1KW psu into a Pentium 3 PC. The console only takes the amount of juice that it needs.
yes you can, you just cant use Jasper power bricks on older consoles but you can use older power bricks on newer consoles.. my old none HDMI console RROD on me a while back and the store i got it from gave me a newer falcon 360 but didnt replace my power brick and i had no problems
Right now my brother is using his 360 on my old cord and my "newer" (according to the repair center) 360 with his new one. I just didn't feel like switching all the cords. Anyways, it works fine
