Send my Xbox360 in for repair! Strange thing with it came back!

The DVD drive and motherboard was changed! The thing is, when I try to plug in the thing that is connected to that thing with light in(don't know how to descibe it) it doesn't fit. I know the reason for this know! There is this small thing in the plugged of where it should be plugged in to power up the controller(this is on the back of the Xbox360) and the same thing is on the powercable I try to put in. This wasn't there before and I don't understand why it is there now. I hope you have a clue what im talking about. When changing motherboard and DVd drive, it that gateway to plug the powercable into changed. Fornunatly I have another of these, which doesn't have that in the middle, so I can use that. I really just want an explanation.

Sorry about bad grammar, but english is not my first language. I would really appreciate a response.

Could someone please answer

No Its the same console, because my saves are still thereand it says when it was manufactured so. Also I didn't mean controller by console of course. Someone must know if this plugin changed when changing the motherboard and DVD drive. I realize maybe you have a hard ime understanding what im talking about, but its is not very easy to describe!

The newer 360's have different power ports or w.e ..is that what your on about :S?ras2009

This is true, you may need to get a new power cable, when i brought my new xbox i noticed the connections on the back (for the power input) had changed inbetween the bottom 2prongs of the 3

I wish i could understand your question better,but i think your talking about your powerblock. Easy fix would be to just go and buy the right power block for your new xbox.

They might have given you a Jasper model lucky you! :D

i dunno

actually its the very same Xbox360. They just repaired it, because it got the ROD! I says that the DVD drive and motherboard has been changed with new ones, but its still the same machine not a new one. As I said I already have a powerport that fit, but I was just wondering why this is. When replacing the old DVD drive and motherboard with new ones, does the plugin in the back changes. I still have all my saves on the console and my profile so its the same console. Just want to have this cleared up. English is not my first language so im sorry if you have a hard time understanding me, but I would really appreciate an answer and perhaps an explanation. Thanks!

Also I have two Xbox360 and the powerblock with one of these fits with the one that got repaired. Now someone said that my other powerbrick would perhaps not work with my repaired Xbox360, but it fits. I would also like an explanation to this.

Well?

It is really odd that they would repair your console and send it back to you. The usual thing is to put yours in a pile to be fixed and they give you one that they already fixed. That way you are not waiting. All mine have come back like that. When I sent in my launch one they replaced it with an similar one that had a new drive and such. Saves are always on the HDD or the mem card not the unit. To prove it take off the hard drive and try and find your game saves. I would still call them even if you have a power brick because why should you use yours when they should have sent the right one. BaconB1ts123

The files... are in the computer!!! lol jk. Anyway you probably need a new power supply as most have said.

they sent u a new 360 motherboard. the newer 360's have a little plastic thing in the middle of the power thing. the older 360 power cables have a slice in the middle. when u try plugging in ur 360 the two get caught. ur going to either call up microsoft and have them send u a old motherboard or u can buy a new power brick off of ebay.xscott1018
