How to fix Error E74!

[Chotton]

Its from November of 2005, it has been opened, its been tampered with, and I bought it on eBay. I really don't want to pay $150 for a new one.

Just get a warrenty sticker. They dont care.

I sent one in that had a bricked Benq drive, e74, e79, and would not turn on and told them it was RROD.

Got a brand new unit.

I did the penny trick where under the motherboard i put 3 pennies on each of the 4 i think RAM chips? and then i overheated the 360 then i turned it on and it worked, but not sure yet its been working for bout 2 days now.. Does this trick also fix for E74?

This is a fix for e74...

Where the hell do I get a sticker?...


Wait, I have a 360 on the way....
It has the sticker.


How do I remove the sticker and make it look good?

Is the E74 error also relate with RAM chips or just the ANA chip?

just the ANA/HANA

You are not. That is a completely different error.

Ok, just making sure because I keep hearing "try re-putting compound on your GPU "

I just did the penny fix and I turned on my 360 for 5 min. and it got overheated?????

fu*king 3 days after i open mine to do the penny trick. hope they do not see it. it looks pretty good besides the back looks dug into a lil.

I have a 360 with no warranty sticker, but I have another that has a perfect one.The only problem is that the x360 I want to send in looks really terrible and has clear evidence that it has been tampered with. Does anybody know whether I could take the case from the other x360 and put the motherboard and dvd-rom(drive) into the good case? the reason I ask is because, I'm not sure if they would be able to tell the difference by the different serial number.

ForrestMaster..Is there any other way to fix the E-74? Without the penny trick?..Abolz did it for me but didnt get it to work..So i am going to try..But im wondering if there is any other way that i could do this? Thanks

I just opened my xbox and did the penny trick and baked it and still e74.....even with my thumb applying pressure it doesnt do anything. I got the other error code 1022 which says its the ANA or HANA. What do i do now?

Send it in.

[ooHeavyDoo]

Cant send it in because its been opened already for the x clamp replacement...

[Jac0b]

take x-clamps off.. you shoulda kept your sticker intact.

Do the towel trick again and dont wait for it to cool.... turn it on and off over and over until it doesnt give you the error.... and also try to put more preassure on it while turning it on (get someone to preasure the top where the cd's are; or if you dont weigh alot try standing on it and turning it on; worked for me
