I got one light of death it said it was error code E74 the console
has had rrod before but after it was fixed no trouble I think it's from a bad flash I did on the drive because it was fine before it.

So what i want to know is; is the console dead? Or just a bad flash? Can a bad flash be fixed without buying a new drive? Is there anyone
exprinced in flashing drives that can help me?

This is one error code I know from experience.

E74 is when the connection on the GPU is melting, and re-cooling and making a cold point thus not function. Throwing the E74.

You can leave the xbox on for 2 hour shifts trying to remelt that solder connection back together, but thats only a temporary fix. You'll need to send it in for a real repair.

I don't think it has anything to do with flash. Then again, I'm just a random guy who is trying to test out this Dark Knight skin.

I can't send it in it's jtagable and I've opens up the 360 aww I baught all these xcm shit which is comming tmrw

edit if I did the temp fix and stuck sum new more powerfull fans in there will it do the job how big are the solder balls on the gpu can it be resoldred by anyone?

Reflow the HANA chip... fixes 99% of E74 errors permanently.

Drive flash has nothing to do with E74, sorry.

Tut? I looked on YouTube and all I could find was the shifty pinny trick is the hana chips the one with the bandaids on them under the board? If so I so f ucked my self over couse I removed them and didn't replace them with any thing.

Those are thermal pads, and yea, that was a bad idea.

[jmdalmighty]

Insted of telling that was a bad idea tell me a good one that I can do to fix my xbox

Tut lol unless you want a crappy sears heatgun reflow there are no tuts. You need a professional reflow one that will last if you want it repaired. The pennies will not work in this case, not just because it's a bad repair, because the problem is probably not with the hana chip, the problem is the gpu. You tired the x-clamp trick which I said doesn't last long, causes flexing, and when it breaks it will be more damaged. You tried the x-clamp trick therefore the problem is the gpu. If you want it repaired the right and lasting way I only charge $35 +shipping and no charge for the repair until I repair your 360. With that I give reflows with a custom bga rework station, parts replacements, I add on shims to the gpu and cpu, add on extra heatsinks(if wanted), and I add on the hybrid advanced. If you are interested in a repair my email is xbox360smartrepairs@yahoo.com

Stop your bullshit, A regular repair works fine.

Stop your ********, A regular repair works fine.

No it doesn't not at all and really think about it, if your going to repair something you want to go to sears get a heatgun and try to fix an xbox!? What kind of person thinks an industrial heatgun can fix a 360 let alone fix any peice of hardware!?

no one at sears fixes computers....
I told him to see a computer repair specialist, not some guy in his garage,nor did I tell him to fix it himself. An xbox is a specialty computer. any qualified computer repair specialist can fix it. Re-solder the chips to the board and repaste the gpu and cpu. In this case new thermal pads are also needed.

and those guys are pro's and have the qualifications to do so.

$90 shipping? Why are you in the uk? Also unless you want a chip reball the cost is only $35 +shipping.

[jmdalmighty]

look im in the uk im not paying over a hundred for a game console that i can get again for much cheaper.
