1 red light on the 360 and the battle begins with "Max"...

Just book it in for a repair and under symptoms just say that it periodically RRoDs.

They wont go out of their way to prove other wise.

Try it, if they tell you to send it to MS do that. It's still in it's original warrenty.

Surprised ppl pay for extended warranties.. If its a design fault like it looks like and outside 2 years then just quote the SOGA at them. If they resist further, take legal proceedings. I'd be willing to bet a fair amount of money they will settle before going to court. If its inside 2 years then theres the EU consumer goods guarantee legislation which they should honour.

Microsoft would be easiest, the shop would probably ask you to send it to them anyway.

Just login to the website and request a repair.

Then you just need to find a suitable box and follow the instructions.

I think more people get this error than the 3 red lights. E 74 should have 3 years warranty too. I myself got the same error. My 360 was less than a year old. I told this to the Asian guy on the other end of the phone. (I could hardly understand a word the guy was saying it was irritating.) He asked no question and I did not even have to prove it was still under warrenty.

Same error for me, 6-7 months old aswell.

Yes they will give you a new replacement.

E74 errors are getting uncomfortably common, Not as common as the RROD thank god lol.

Got mine back from servicing. I had the E74 and they sent it back with a replaced motherboard and CD-ROM (wasn't aware there was anything wrong with it but not complaining!) I think its actually quieter now.

glad to have it back!
