My new(er) Elite is now one year and one month old. Know what that means? Yep, it's time for a new one!

I got a big ol' E74 on my screen and a single red light. Not covered under the extended warranty.

Any suggestions? Should I try to fix? Or should I try and force the RROD instead?
If I should try and fix, are there any good tutorials out there?

I have fixed over 12 Xbox 360 consoles including mine with the X-Clamp Fix. You can get more info at http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/14376/3-Red-...t-for-Xbox-360/ and http://www.x-clamp-fix.com/catalog/product...ix-DIY-Kit.html if you want to know what it involves. You can buy a kit over at Amazon like this one http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Xbox-360-XC...1221&sr=8-6 or any that you need. BTW, 4 of those I fixed had the E74 error and not yet a RRoD, and they all were fixed and working still to this date.

looks like Tier has covered all the bases.
I had "not proper RRoD" the E74 code about 2 yrs back, its related to the GPU and as Tiers links show its just means the GPU chip has lifted off the mother board (I think a "proper RRoD" releates to the CPU coming away)

Homebuilt. when mine went "tits up" back in march 07 (link here ) you posted thet you Elite went wrong a while b4, is this the same console or you replacement? I be pretty pissed the way you have been going thru them

yeah....could of sworn i have said this before...this is what i really had last APRIL..when i found out it wasnt covered,i pretty much while the 360 was on,kept disconnecting the power brick,as soon as i did that 3 red lights came up,and i rang up for that and they replaced it
EDIT:and i got the 360 back within the week

when you unplug the 360 from the power brick,the 360 does not like that..it makes a terrible noise,LOL

Microsoft have just announced a 3 year warranty on the E74 now

http://kotaku.com/5211159/microsoft-extend...or-e74-failures


this of course isnt good for the xbox,another Red Ring dilema is just gonna cause shit again on the net

hopefully though MS will fucking foolproof the next xbox to a point where nothing goes wrong with it in a hundred years!!!

I suppose its better to acknowledge a problem and offer to fix it rather than ignore its existence, its a lesser of 2 evils for MS. i think its good MS have put the E74 under the warranty umbrella.
