Something rattling inside my 360?

Hi guys, my 360 is really strange, when i move it i can feel/hear something moving around inside, it seems like a screw or something similar moving around. Is this normal? Is it the disc laser or something?

Cheers.

You're not moving it while it's on and spinning are you? Make sure it's not the sound of the discs being scratched to hell.

The sound you are hearing is the device used to tell the 360 whether it's vertical or horizontal in order to display the lights correctly.

Really??!

Sounds quite loud sometimes, the machine is off when i move it, but it sits on a chest of drawers and when i close the drawers i can hear it rattle away, so your saying its normal??

Thanks.

Yup thats what it is.

While its turned off tilt it horizontally/vertically and you will hear it changing position.

I thought it was the harddrive, mine does that as well, same for laptop harddrives if you shake them around
