All I did to fix it was solder the points and It ran fine afterwards.

Thanks for this poll, XanTium!  I have been wondering this exact thing for about 2 months.

My box's powersupply blew (solder joints), and the bulky replacement cable didnt even cut power to my xbox. I soldered it up and now it works fine.

There should be another option on the poll that says: No, I soldered up the points just in time.  That's what happened to me.  I had heard the crackling when I would plug it in, but when the news hit, I opened my box up and have never had a crackle since.  Another testimony to how great this forums is!

toasty.  Mine didnt blow up yet, but I have a foxfire on a 1.0 xbox...  foxfire Psu's blow apparently.  I think I heard the crackling noise one time, but it could have been crack I was smoking.  Anyways, I resoldered it with some mostly silver solder with a higher melting point... dunno if it helped but everything is still working just fine.  Now I use the replacement cord in my usual setup, but my xbox gets moved a lot and I don't take the big birtha replacement cord with me.

I got on the xbox website a few months ago pretty much told me to replace the cord....how likely is it that something like that would happen. I bought it used...

Mine never blew up. I still have it somewhere, but I replaced it with a Lik-Sang switchable one so I could bring my xbox to Germany with me. That has been working perfectly ever since I dropped it in, and the old one I never remember having problems with it.

Funny, I ordered my free cable from M$, but I never got it in the mail. Oh well it was probably that huge ass bulky thing anyways...

My PSU never had a problem, but i am ready for the time it blows up. But i have have it for 2 or 3 years directly connected to the wall and still running and beautiful. Maybe it has to be because my PSU is so FULL of that white glue i cant see most of the parts.

As a mod chip installer I have replaced about 10 power supplys. 3 of them had the typical power connector broken off the cicuit board with black arc'ing all around.

I am glad they break so often. I get to make lots of money fixing them for people locally. Its better then having to ship your xbox to M$ and wait forever.
