So I just did kind of the towel trick, instead of wrapping it in towels I just blocked the fans from moving, it only took like 10 min to do the double red ring. turned it back on and was working again on the first attempt. My fan was only really loud for about 2 min, after that its back to normal...now to see how long it lasts, and if I can just repeat the method each time it happens.
been almost 5 years yet MS still doesn't know how to make RROD go away... I which MS go out of business making video games console because this never happened to the original xbox console.
you're hella lucky because i had my xbox 360 for 3 years and then it had the E74 error message. when i got it, microsoft didnt have it under their warranty, so i had to buy another one. and the a month after i bought another one, they said that the E74 error will be covered. pissed me off and made me hella mad to be supporting microsoft when they do that to me.
yes im saying both consoles are shit but i only buy them so i can play the games that come out for them retard i wouldnt buy an xbox or a ps3 so i can stare at the dashboard oh and take your gay gaming references somewhere else
nobody gives a shit what you think of the fucking error!!!!!!!!!!!! Ps3 fans just dont have the balls to replace the heat pads on the conversion feed chips instead of calling Microsoft.......... Pussies! And by the way all games are made by microsoft and microsoft invented the computer AND interactive games so fuck all u PS3 fans that think they;re better than us
and if you have any troubles i was on my brothers account reuter51 but if you have trouble message me and this account hurry cause other people might get to me first thanks
Same person like last time i didnt see the paragraph and all you guys that see this do what i said and it will work trust me worked EVERY time i tried it
Hey Buddy Dont lose hope you can still fix it i fixed mine and dont worry it will work take two toothpicks and put them in the back to stop the fans once you see the 1st and 3rd light go red unplug the power cable in the back of it then plug it back in and turn it on and if it doesnt work keep turning it on and off untill it works trust me i never lost hope when i got it
dude didnt you pay when you shipped it bc this video was posted august 18 and they started extending the warranty on the e74 in april, so did you get your money back?
oh i see, im going crazy about my xbox because i just shipped it monday and if i knew they were gonna take like 3 weeks i woulda just bought another xbox
Yeah they do, its a design flaw. Red ring and such happens from the design of the fans and the area around the 360 in which air can get in. Notice PS3 barely ever has issues thats cuz a lot of air can get into the system. Im all for xbox and would never buy a PS3 im just saying they made a better design than microsoft.
true... i think mine broke cuz i left my controller charging over night =( it also has something jingleing inside like somethings loose... oh well i alrady sent it in
the point of a warranty is that they will fix it for free, if you dont have one, you will have to pay an amount, but ring them up and see what they say.
I phoned them up they said they will only fix it if it has three red lights :( now ive stripped it to the motherboard and getting the tools to fix the part of that fails..........
ive got EXACTLY what you have right now. did this happen when you started it up or in the middle of gameplay? its supposed to be an overheating issue but mine must have somehow overheated itself when it wasnt even turned on because i saw it for the first time when i turned it on.
callum444121 I just got the exact same problem yesterday.. when I turned on my xbox I got the red ring thing but it was only the bottom right corner just like in the vid.
Same I hadn't played it for like 20 hours and when I last played it it seemed fine. Turned it on in the morning and oh happy days! E74! FUCK YOU MICROSOFT BURN IN HELL BILL GATES!
So the error E 74 doesnt have anything to do with the ahrddrive or whatever? And whats the AV cable have anything to do with it?? lol and why get a new one lol
i have the E74 too. im not going to send it to microsoft to get it fixed. lol. soon im going to try to use a new AV cable.. cuz everybody i know told me all u need to do is get a new AV cable. soo yeh..
haha the seriousness of the sad music is no joke if fuckin sucks when u get that error its like someone killed ur child haha. mines in the shop aswell and its a fucking elite suposed to be top notch no issues its elite!! fuck
but if ur warranty is still valid they will fix it for free and have free shipping whatever u do do not do the towel trick that will further destroy ur xbox apparently theres a trick where u turn the xbox on see the red light turn it off then unplug the video/audio cable turn it on there will be no red light wait for it to turn it self off then replug the chord back in and its uppost to work ..its not working for me yet tho
i h8 xbox customer support they tell me the same shyt over and over and over and as it seems my 360 is damaged and it always seems to happen around black friday. still i am just going to give up on 360 for a while becuase i too have the e 74 and it is a drag
wow so sad
