MICROSOFT SORTA describes E74 ERRORS

Last month we speculated on the recent increase in Xbox 360 E74 errors. We presumed that this was since of an boost in the number of HDMI consoles as well as that the associated scalar chip was failing. regrettably considering that these weren’t red sound failures, they didn’t autumn into the prolonged three year guarantee period for Xbox 360s. That is up until this week when Microsoft admitted that some E74 errors are the exact same kinds of failures that cause the RRoD as well as would repair work E74 under the exact same three year warranty. Kotaku attempted to get a much better explanation out of Microsoft, however only got a bit a lot more info. Microsoft did verify that E74 is not a reclassing of RRoD, however that there is some overlap between the two.
