Hello Everyone. I am pretty damn pissed/scared right now. :crying: Turn on my XBOX, and hello red light! Only the bottom left thing is flashing red, while all others are blank. Awesome.
So it pops up with the warning screen in 50 different languages, and apparently I have Error Code E74.
Quick Google Searching Shows This Info...
Ok. So I switched my HDMI Cable to the regular AV Cables... power up.
Xbox Error Codes said:
E74: AV cable error... There is a problem with the AV cable, try using a different AV cable. If the cable is known to be working then there is a 90% chance it's a scaler chip problem (the "ANA" or "HANA" chip connected directly to the AV cable) in rare cases it is the GPU.
Red flashing light.
Wonderful.
So I search for fixes. A youtube video states that if you unplug all the cords for 5-30 mins (Big time frame) then re-plug it will work. Ok, why not try since I feel screwed either way.
Nope.
What do I do? I Really dont have the money to buy another 360... but this really blows. 1 year warranties right?...
How do I check how long I have owned it? I ask this because, I traded my original 360 which I purchased in 2006 to one of my friends for his brand new one. But that was awhile ago and I dont know if its been a year yet. So maybe his box still has the warranty?
Please help if you can. No 360 = No Happy.
:crying:
