Just opened up a Pal V1.0 and found a strange sticker on the HDD and the Top lid. The HDD is a retail WD that has a failure code sticker on top of it. The picture of the sticker is at the end of the post! And the same console also had a sticker on the top shielding that reads "Delta/5". The console was not repaired/refurbished by microsoft and i was the first person who opened it. I never saw a failure code sticker on a HDD. What could that sticker mean as the HDD is working fine? I know it's not really important but i would like to know why the sticker has been placed there!
I'm just going to take a guess here but I think it just has to do with where it was assembled. different facilities may have had different methods of marking tested parts durring assembly. I feel like I remember having a xbox that was never opened before having both a green dot sticker on the DVD drive and a sticker very simmilar to the one you have in the picture saying it was tested and assembled in Mexico. ill try to verify this later tonight, maybe I still have that unit. Edit: Bummer, I can't verify. Either the unit had a bad Hdd and its been replaced already or I used it as a parts unit. Can't find it anywhere. I did find the Philips drive with the green dot sticker on it though.. hmm.
