if the buzz tone is gone it would be from a reflash.
the tcm on the 6.0 is a seperate section of the pcm so the devision is the going to be the same as the pcm's.
so far as is the buzz ficm better, same or worse. I really dont know. personaly I have not had any negitive effects with the new flash. We have also seen a reduction in ficm failers as of late. some of which may just be weather related.

Scuttlebutt is a different solder is being used for reman and for newer units after the pre-2007 debacle.

In order to keep ambulance chasers down (literally), it is not being made public.
But, you can look at the cases that are public to gleam the same stuff.
2. Lead free solder
Xbox 360 solder is brittle.
In order to avoid using lead in products used by children, Microsoft made the Xbox 360 with lead free solder. Lead free solder tends to be more brittle. To make matters worse, the wrong type of lead free solder was used by Microsoft, one that gets really brittle with heat exposure over long periods. If you stress this brittle solder, tiny hair-line cracks will develop. The cracks can obstruct the flow of electrical current and also result in a weak solder joint that easily breaks.

5. Deficient Manufacturing Process: Soldering Temperature Was Too Low
Xbox solder process was sub-optimal.
The soldering process during manufacture was done at too low a temperature. When lead free solder is under heated, the resulting solder joint is full of voids and other defects. These weak joints won't hold up for long even under normal circumstances. If you include the other Xbox faults such as running too hot and warping of the motherboard, you've got the perfect formula for failure.
