Strange Xbox 360 Slim issues

[spleenharvester]

Hey all. I bought a used 360 slim for cheap, and it has some strange (seemingly networking-related?) issues. It will often sit on the spinning circle at startup for several minutes before I get the option to sign in. After that, it almost always fails to sign in, with the networking test giving a variety of errors (MTU error, ICMP error, no networks found etc). I wiggled the wireless card a bit and reseated it and suddenly the console signed in fine, only to drop again not long after. My fat 360 never had an issue so I do not believe it to be a problem with my network configuration.


I'm still not sure why it's so sluggish at startup - I've tried removing the HDD, clearing cache etc to no avail.


Do these things have known issues with wireless cards (or the slot?) or am I just unlucky?

What brand of caps are on the power supply part on the motherboard my son's x box 360 would just freezes after playing for hour or so and sometimes it would not work that long I recap the motherboard it worked allot better

Also you may want to recap the power supply brick as well this will cause issue as well

Replacing the WiFi board has, fortunately, fixed all issues. Thanks!
