What is the E74 Error?Having 1 light illuminated means that a general hardware error has occurred. This will usually be followed by a 2 digit error code on the screen (E74).
This is what is known is the E74 Error. Warning signs before the E74 Error shows itself could include in-game freeze-ups, and graphics problems during gameplay. These events may happen once or several times until the E74 Error occurs, or not at all. If the console freezes occasionally, the E74 Error will not necessarily follow. This E74 Error code is usually caused by failure of one or more hardware components, typically one of the chips. If you have the E74 Error, then my suggestion would be to firstly check the video cable before attempting to take the 360 apart. If the video cable is ok and your console is not under warranty still, then you are faced with a couple of options: 1. Send it into a repair shop (this will be costly) 2. Repair it yourself using my fully illustrted guide (the parts will cost you very little, and your console can be repaired in under an hour) What are the other Red Ring Of Death errors?2 LightsHaving 2 lights illuminated means that the console has overheated.
3 Lights (Red Ring Of Death)Having 3 lights illuminated means that there is a general hardware fault on one or more components (the most common red ring of death fault).
4 LightsHaving 4 lights illuminated means that there is an AV cable error.
