My 360 fell from a 4 ft desk, is it internally damaged?

It's the slim model and it seems alright, but how can I know for sure?

Xbox 360 over heating but no warning

So, my Xbox 360 slim is getting very hot after a short amount of time and it causes certain games to crash. Not once in the time I've owned it have I got the warning it said would pop up if it was over heating. Now, I get hard crashes on a couple games after
a couple hours and my system is nearly too hot to touch. Why is the warning never coming up and are others dealing with the same poor hardware on their slim models?

Not sure about the actual temperature,but they do get hot.

If the only hot area is around the fan then its doing its job right and you shouldn`t have any issues.

The slim consoles tend to shut themselves off if they get to hot so not to cause serious damage.

I do use the old hard drive bt there are no error files if I do I always delete them. My Xbox is standing and I made a cooling system for my Xbox and it still has this problem and my Internet is very reliable and is not the problem I made sure of that first.
Also no I have not transfers my memory to the slim model because I do not have a memory unit on the slim. The slim model are for my younger siblings so I never thought of giving it a memory unit. Also the freezing occurs about 2 to 3 hours of game play after
I turn off the Xbox I check how hot it is with my cooling system and it's very cool and not hot. If I do it without the Cooling system it's very hot. But this never happens all the time sometimes I can be on all day and it will be fine. To see of it was my
memory unit I have removed it and played like i would with it and it would freeze after 2 to3 hours of play. Thanks for all your help bt none of these are the issue

Do not use the cooler the slim does not need it ! and that is proven and even if the Slim was to get to hot it shuts itself off automatically the piece of junk will wreck your slim.

To "west point": "Just because they Jtag the "slim" DOESN'T mean it can go on-line" Duh. I wonder how the "pro" and "elite" models got on-line AFTER they were Jtagged? Just saying......

And to "orion": I live in a town of 30,000 people. You CAN"T buy any 360 model, besides the slim. After all, it was suppose to replace the pro and elite models...... Ya'll keep sticking your head in the sand. If someone can figure how to Jtag the slim, I'm
sure it won't be long before they are on-line.

Have you noticed that your xbox has been getting unusually hot? Is it the older model or the new slim? Do you have it in a closed space were its not getting good air flow or around other electronic that are on and producing alot of heat?... You might try
putting it in a well ventilated spot and see if that helps
