JD™ Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Contrary to what Sam is saying, in my experience 90% of the 'sound, no picture' faults are with the lead. You're definitely right to try out another lead before sending it off to MS. Hope it sorts it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZHI-sam Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 yea by all means try the lead but with the xbox's tendancy got cpu/gpu errors and the ana chips also giving E74, its more likely going to be the console Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenJJ Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Anyone know how to fix this 'red ring of death' thing? Mine got it a few months ago and I think my warranty has run out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZHI-sam Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 you get a 3 year warranty against rrod mate, if you have a warranty sticker on it then register it on xbox.co.uk and request a repair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasMcNeal Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Ive got the bottom right rring flashing and error code E74 does that mean ive got to send it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Ive got the bottom right rring flashing and error code E74 does that mean ive got to send it off?If it's in warranty then yea. If not you can either force 3 red rings to get the 3 year warranty, or you can try to fix it. There's loads of info on both floating around on the web.

Tamness™ Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) Just got the three red lights, xbox is well out of warranty. Is there anywhere I can get it fixed independently, and if not, how much to microsoft charge?Tam. Edited March 16, 2009 by Tamness™ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZHI-sam Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 look on the back of it for the MFR date, if its within the last 3 years then you still have warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
