Yes its true, i just went to turn on my xbox to play some gh3... and what do i get, a red light and E74 error on my tv. I tried all on ms site, unplugging all cords, hardrive ect. looks like i have to send it off to ms for repairs . WTF I DO WHILE ITS GONE!!! :S MY LIFE IS OVER /wrist. EDIT: I JUST FOUND THIS ON A WEBSITE... IS IT TRUE? 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.
you really shouold change the topic name i thought this forum was somthing else now i am disappointed
well maybe it got a red light because you were using it in all the wrong ways, hinted the title of the thread. yeh, i remember my brother's friend getting one, then we opened it up and he got 3 red rings, yay!
3 red rings of death the 3 quarter red ring means you need your sbox repaired 1 should be fixable visit xbox.com for more info
I GOT THE EXACT SAME THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have to call them though and send it in... I sent mine in a week ago and they just got it this morning..
Well that just sucks. But really, are you sure your cable is plugged in right? I get that sometimes when I take it to friend's houses, but all you have to do is plug it better. If that doesnt work, I think AV Cables are about 20-ish at Best Buy.
yes, i even took my cable to friends house, checked on his xbox it worked fine... so it IS the 90% chance, that its like where the av cable plugs into.. i sent it in today.
