Xbox – Does the Xbox 360 Slim cool better if laying horizontally

As far as I know, it's not possible to use browser-based logins with the 360.

The option most people choose is to connect to wifi using a laptop (or desktop), log in via the laptop browser and then share that internet connection over ethernet. On Windows 7, this is a function called ICS (internet connection sharing) for which there are numerous good tutorials on the internet. On a Mac, this is called "Internet sharing" in the Sharing preference pane. They're both pretty easy to set up.

Generally speaking those adapters are of low quality and will most likely not invoke a fail-safe to save your device. I noticed the slim adapters are of a much lower quality then older adapters that had built in fans and a ground. Without a ground it had no where to send the electricity and more than likely it simply passed it on to the device. The fact that you had to unplug it and it didn't shut down automatically is a REALLY bad sign. Generally devices can handle variances in voltage but in your case it was a significant variance. Did the xbox light up or did the touch button make the ding? If so your chances it survived are even less since it was obviously drawling power from the device. You probably have a very small chance it survived but the only way to know for sure is to test it this time not a on 240v outlet! Best of luck.
