-Problem
How do I fix it without microsoft customer support, or something completely ridiculous.

-My Current Situation
I was playing and white bars appeared going vertical, turned off the console turned it back on and now I have one red light (the fourth) and an error report (E 74) on the screen.

-How much I've already figured out
As stated from here---> http://www.llamma.com/xbox360/repair/Xbox-360-error-codes.htm
My problem is the AV Cable or ANA/HANA port (which I'm guessing is the port you plug the cable into the xbox.)

-Things you might need to know to help me
I have unplugged all cables, as well as the hardrive, multiple times.
I have had the 3 rings before, as well as the first and third ring, I managed to repair them using the AWESOME forums on this site.......... and youtube.
I do have a "flashed" DVD drive (Hitachi).
I have tried using a HDMI cable and the standard component cable.


If this question/scenario has already been answered please post the link, I didn't feel like looking through the infinite amount of discussions.

Thanks in advance.

Here's W00ly's guide :

It's help me out with those dang E74 errors. You might want to 12 volt mod your fans if you're running an older 360 to prevent it from doing it again. It's makes your 360 sound like a jet, but it keeps it cool. Good Luck.

Thanks for showing me woolys guide, and to be honost, hairdrying the motherboard was part of that ridiculous category, but this should be interesting to try out. I'll message back if it works.

A heatgun is definitely NOT a hairdryer. If you used a heatgun on your head you'd burn your scalp and set your hair on fire

Personally if you've had overheating I'd wire them to 12v from here


Some people prefer to get it from the DVD power, which should be ok, but I'd rather do it at the source where it would make the least difference on other components downstream...plus those pads are super easy to solder to
