Posing the Red Ring of Death error as E74 would save Microsoft millions. The latter is probably unlikely, however if that were the case, gamers inflicted with Error E74 would thus have to cough up more than $100 for the repair if the error occurs later than 12 months after purchase, as Error E74 is not covered under the 3-year extended warranty set in place for the Red Ring of Death malfunction. So why would the new Xbox 360 interface aggravate the HDMI hardware problem? According to an analysis done by Joystiq ( link), it's speculated that the entire system is being taxed by the NXE or, more importantly, Microsoft may have changed the system diagnostics test to report a Red Ring of Death error as E74 instead. Many Xbox 360 owners have resolved the issue by wrapping pennies in electrical tape and weighing the ANA/HANA down, however that's not an official fix and will void the console's warranty. The one red light in the lower right-hand quadrant eventually comes on. Because it's an internal issue, gamers aren't aware of the problem until snow or lines begin to cross the screen. On the technical end, the E74 error stems from the integrated HDMI: the solder on the ANA/HANA scaling chip apparently comes loose.

Additionally, an older error-dubbed E74 due to an error code displayed on the screen- has rapidly increased in number since the release of NXE back in November 2008 the two may or may not be related. To add on top of the Red Ring of Death issue and lawsuits stemming from the company's supposed knowledge of faulty hardware before the initial shipment, Microsoft recently faced huge problems once it released the new interface, the NXE. Strangely enough, that hasn't happened, and from a sales point-of-view, the gaming community prefers the Xbox 360 over its same-level adversary (with less technical faults, no less), the PlayStation 3. Granted, the Wii console from Nintendo kicks it around financially, the numerous hardware issues Microsoft has had to face should lead one to believe that the consumer market would actually stray away from the faulty equipment. With that said, an old, existing error is now rapidly becoming a not-so-phantom menace.įrom a personal standpoint, it's really amazing to see how well Microsoft's Xbox 360 console sells on the market.
