So I rip open an Xbox...

yea your right no hd i had a couple sleds but are now dust lol

That's a Class 1 laser diode, and no Xbox ever had a 405nm diode in it. The HD-DVD attachment does, but not the consoles.

ooops

ooops

My thoughts exactly when I saw the first picture

Like everyone else has said, it needs to be from the HDDVD addon. I can see where the confusion arose from because when people mention it, they just say "xbox diode" because it is much easier than typing out "xbox 360 HDDVD addon diode".

The LASER DIODE is not class I. The XBOX is a class I laser device. Since the laser diode is safely housed and no one can be exposed to any radiation (without disabling the safety features, as we are all too familiar with) it is rated class I. Once the diode is extracted, it is now then classified as IIIa/b.

yup, you could stick a 500mW rpl in an enclosure and call it a class 1 laser

So when are you going to rip apart a Wii for its diode too?

yeah, 360 only has a red and IR diode since it only reads DVDs and CDs.
i still would love to have one though. haha.
