XBOX 360 Bottom Red Ring is blinking (Error E-74 appeared) --- HOW TO FIX?

Question

I was playing halo last night and all of a sudden the graphics flipped out, everything went white hued and I could barely move around in-game. I took out the game, put in COD 4 and it didn't have the same problem but on all dark colors in the came there were white lines. I decided to restart my xbox and I got E 74 error with blinking bottom red ring... I have googled this and I heard something about maybe my AC adapter is bad or something? I don't know how to fix that but please explain... I know the problem is my not my harddrive or games.... HELP!!!

Answer 1

i have experienced E74 error message too.  There are temporary fixes for this on youtube. E74 is a video processing error and is either the video cord or the video processor in the motherboard. More likely the video processer in the motherboard. I had to send it in to get repaired. It took mine a little less than 2 weeks after I sent it in.

Hi

Error E74 is a scaler chip error and this deals with the signals from the AV cable it happens because the design of the Xbox means that the motherboard takes far too much heat.

You can send it in or repair it yourself.

Hope this helps!
