Morning all
Well, seems appropriate while all this talk of console failure rates is going on. My Xbox360 died with an E74 error in June so i went out and bought another one, which has been fine since. Last week i decided to have a go at fixing the old one, instead of having to pay MS to do it for me. So, armed with a ?2.50 set of bolts from ebay, and an assortment of screwdrivers and torxdrivers, and some arctic silver, i set about doing it.
Without going through the process which is documented on many webpages, i got the end last night and turned the Xbox on to find the red lights gone and the machine booting normally. To say i was surprised is an understatement - i don't have any doubts in my skills as it wasn't a difficult fix, i was just a little sceptical i guess. Only time will tell if the fix works long term, but for the time being, i have 2 working 360's
Anyway, if anyone else wants to attempt this then by all means get in touch and i can try to help you through it, in the meantime another Gold Live membership means i might now win some online games
