Have you been looking for a guide all along to fix that Xbox of yours that has that annoying E74 error?
I am going to provide you with my personal tips that I have used and what the results were for them. I had the E74 error and the red rings of death. I was upset by the fact that it happened out of the blue during my game.
I certainly know that you were not satisfied with the result of your system and you may also wonder why it happened. By following these tips, you can have your Xbox console up and running in no time. Regardless of the E74 error and red rings of death, it can be fixed in the next hour or so.
1. Have you ever heard of that tricky little “towel trick” everyone uses to “fix” the red rings of death aka RROD? I have personally used this little hack and actually searched it on YouTube and found these simple steps to get my system back to “normal”.
Result – It worked. In fact, I was able to play my console for another 2 weeks and was able to play my favorite game of all time, Call of Duty! Yes, only 2 weeks it worked. So for those who are just looking for a permanent solution to fix their Xbox, this would not be your best option.
2. Have you tried disconnecting everything from the console? If all. The power cord, the A/V cable, and even the HD (hard drive) of the Xbox console. Do it and leave it unplugged for an hour. This is not a “guarantee” of work.
Result: It worked for many of my friends, especially those who didn’t try the “towel trick”. It’s simply a better option and I’ve always suggested it. This will allow the system to cool down naturally, unlike the towel trick.
3- Use a tutorial guide that will permanently show you how to get your Xbox working again in one hour maximum. It will show you step by step how to fix it.
Result: I tried many guides and honestly the only guide that really worked for me was the one I personally found through one of my friends. I had suffered from that E74 message constantly. The 3 red rings of death is what he had before.
