--- More xbox tutorials, hacks, glitches, and more at: http://slayerelite.com/forums/index.php#microsoft-consoles.5 No pennies will be wasted. The main purpose of this tutorial is for the E-74 error, and how to fix it yourself. All of this information was gathered from the internet and also my own trial and error. I will also review the RRoD repair with some custom tweaks. I have already completed the X-Clamp fix on my machine, so some parts may be improvised. Keep in mind, there is no permanent fix, therefore you may need to do this more than once, depending how much you play, one repair should last 1 month. Once the initial repair has been made, any instances to follow can be repaired very quickly (5 minutes). I will also show how to 're-fix' E-74, in case you experience another error later on. At your own risk. Items Needed: 12 5mm flat stainless washers 20 5mm plastic washers 8 M5 x .8 x 16mm machine screws Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste (Radio Shack) Thread lock Super Glue Foam furniture disc (optional) Tools: T10 and T8, T6 Torx (Auto Zone in the Allen key style, cheapest way to get all the sizes) Pliers Phillips screwdriver 1/4 inch socket Tin Snips Generic Heat Gun Tutorials for opening the case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embeddedv=Uj2A7mGGjuY Shielding and patterns: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-Eyz0sOKR4feature=player_embedded --------------------------------------------------------------------------------­-------------- Fast forward a few weeks, another E74. Easy to fix now. Fast forward a few weeks, another E74. Easy to fix now. Pull the case off. Unscrew / remove the heat sink from the GFX chip set (left side). Plug everything in and turn it on so you get 2 red lights. Put the heat sink back on (re-paste optional). Done. I personally only put the bottom and right side (for HDD) back on the chassis, as shown in picture above. This allows for more circulation to the gfx sinks, and much easier to fix. Like I said, this will last me a month of playing everyday in all honesty. I am not stating this is a permanent fix, and as far as I know, this is the best way to fix E74. Common Questions And answers: Q:So even if one tiny scratch marred the motherboard you'd be effed? A: If it scratched one of the circuit lines yeah. If it was just on the plastic itself it would be fine. Q:where can i get the supplies to fix this A:the screws you can get at a hardware store or any store that handles screws and such, and the thermal compound you can get from any computer store or even a Radio Shack
