Re: Xbox 360: Error E74
I got the E74 error just after Christmas, and 2 weeks after the 1 year warranty was up. Nice timing for the 360 to crap out. Well I can tell you it wasn't the AV cables as running either component, or HDMI resulted in the same error. It did however work after the first time I got the error. Worked for 2 minutes and the… -
Xbox 360: Error E74
So yes... yesterday I got the error message e74 on my xbox. For those of you that don't know what that is... it is when the bottom left quadrant of the ring lights up red. It is not that "Red Ring of Death". But I called microsoft... and after being told to unplug and plug back in all the cords a couple times... they told… -

Re: Xbox 360: Error E74
I wish they did that a couple months ago... But I was able to fix it... so no complaining here. :) I wrote this in an email to someone a couple weeks ago. The e74 error is said to be a error with either the AV cable, ana chip, or graphics chip. So before you go and open your xbox... you need to try a new AV cable (or… -
Re: Xbox 360: Error E74
New information: After a couple of hours googling and such, I have learned that the E74 code is an AV cable error. It is recommended that you try a different AV cable. If that doesn't work then there is a 90% chance that it is a failing scaler chip (also known as the "ANA" or "HANA" chip that is directly connected to the… -

Re: Xbox 360: Error E74
I fixed the e74 error. You basically need to take the xbox apart down to the motherboard... take off the two heatsinks... and heat the back of the motherboard (only where the two heat sinks were). This melts/re-solders the connection. Let the area cool and tah dah... it works. If it doesn't reheat the specific area for a… -
Re: Xbox 360: Error E74
I wouldn't judge the 360 on the red ring errors. Yes it is a problem... but it isn't horrible. I also think that there are a ton of really good games that aren't on ps3. Also the games that made people want to get a playstation in the first place (GTA, Resident evil) are now on the 360. The good games on xbox aren't on ps3… -
Re: Xbox 360: Error E74
The opposite is true...if you get an arcade with the newest revisions. That's why I waited until recently to buy one. And the HDMI is great. The new systems have improved hardware, and use less voltage. That's how you determine if they're new. If my system RROD's then Microsoft is hopeless. Good thing innovative developers… -
