XBOX 360!! PROBLEMS E74 error, 1 red light how to fix it?? [BEST ANSWER 10 POINTS!!]

Question

I got an E74 error with 1 red light on my Xbox 360 so can anyone help me please. BEST ANSWER 10 POINTS!! Tell me how to do it myself please and NOT to call Xbox support.

Answer 1

E74: There is high chance it's a scaler chip problem (the "ANA" or "HANA" chip near the AV cable connection) it can also be caused by a faulty AV cable so check that first. In some cases it is a problem with the GPU and may be repairable by doing the x-clamp replacement.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

do you know what scale chips are? and how to repair them? if not then it has to go to xbox for repair,e74 is a scale chip issue if you monkey around with your xbox or break the seal your warrenty(if you have one) is void.and the towel trick you see on youtube will 9 out of ten fry your machine completly

Answer 3

check how everything is plugged in.. if its 3 lights, hardware problem.. 1 light, something inside is broke(send it back to microsoft) or something is plugged in wrong

Answer 4

I had one light and was told to unplug everything from your 360. stand it up on a hard floor such as hardwood or tile. Leave it to sit for 24 hours and  the light should be gone.

Hope it helped,
