E74 Error...how to fix and what to fix! Pt. 1

Hey, guys i've done some snooping around the internet and found tons of info on the E74 Error.
So i have decided to show you what the E74 error could be and how to fix it(if needed).

E74-A general hardware failure generalized by either your A/V cable is shot or the Thermal coupling glue on the ANA, has melted away leaving a gap between your Heatsinq and your ANA.

-Color code-
Red-Fixable
Blue-not fixable


--Here is the options by difficulty--
-Easy-
-A/V Cable is shot(it does not work)
Usually this will happen, while you are playing the game. You will see white or colorful lines pop up on your TV screen, it will affect the game....not the TV.
-ANA or GPU Failure
This happens, when you play your Xbox alot. Usually it happens when you turn it off.
-A/V Cable port is not working
This usually means, you are boned....unless you have a warrenty(that is valid).

A/V port cable for me...

im screwed.

whats your damage?

Not sure....

try switching it on without the AV cable and see if it goes red, if it doesnt, put the AV cable in and if it goes red, its your AV port

or your A/V Cable

it is rare to have a A/V cable port failure....

actually.......you HAVE to send in your xbox 360 if you get the E74 error.....even if your warrenty has expired...you just have to pay an equivelant to $100 USD.....

yup, getting it sent away soon, its £68 + VAT here.

Been meaning to get it away for ages..

Result! Good spot mate!
