I was wondering if it does.Here's some information about my elite:

Manufacturing date-June 16th 2007

It's a FDOU (lot number 724)

I also heard that if you unplug it and look at the bottom and you don't see a dvd drive, you have it.What does the dvd drive look like? (I'm at my grandparent's for three days).

I would appreciate it if someone could post a pic of the dvd drive.That way, I know what it looks like when I get home.

Its really likely, the new heatsinks have been implemented into new consoles for the past couple of months, but there's always a chance that it doesnt

The ones with the new heatsinks have been confirmed to be in Xbox 360's produced after July 4th, 2007 (7-4-07). I do not know if they were put in before that.

is the heatsink reparing the problem ? or it might break again..

I read somewhere that the elite does not break as often as the old premium did
