E74: There is a 90% chance it's a scaler chip problem (the "ANA" or "HANA" chip near the AV cable connection) it can also be caused by a faulty AV cable so check that first. In rare cases it is a problem with the GPU.

is what this site said   http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=484726 (http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=484726)

thats where i check on all my error code problems

yes but this one talks about

If it still doesn't work properly, wait 20 minutes with the console still turned on. After 20 minutes, turn off the console, wait 2 minutes for it to cool down and then turn it on again. It should work. This solution was tested on the error 0102 also known as the three lights of death...

ERROR 0102

if anything, send it to m$

no dont get it, or i wouldnt to much of a chance of it not working, look on the web for an error that you can fix personally and then search ebay for that error (error 71, E71, error71, that tyoe thing) if it were me i wouldnt buy it, but it is up to you

am not gone buy it am go buy it in ebgames for 190 and am sell ma xbox only problem is i need the original top case any help

i whe out today and bought me an xbox 360 used but it is good i sold ma xbox and got 152 bucks for it and bought me the 360 but the sad thing is no hard drive and i wanna play halo on line anyone got any ideas

buy a memory card, i think thats all you should need to play halo 2 on 360, but a memory card is a waste compared to buying a hdd for 360

i put the memory card and it is telling me the same thing to put the hd i wanna play halo

To play origional xbox games on a 360 you need a hard drive  :P you would need a hard drive anyway because you can't play halo without downloading the new maps

 :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( o god now i need to find a way to buy a HD for the 360

sell your psp :) or you can always sell yourself....

LOL good one snafu i tryed the psp thing they was gone give me 20 bucks i said hell no but my friend lean me his HD since he dont play xbox games or his xbox that much so that bought me sometime all i got right now is 10 bucks am gtry to trade alot of things in gamestop

now all am need is a mic and HD ;D does anyone have any extra mic

i would just go to like radioshack or somewhere like tht and buy one of there cheapy mics that have a 2.5mm plug

Ahhhh Snafu your a well wised consumer, knows what he wants at a cheep price hahah nice 8)

its where i got one of my mics, ive also bought one form walgreens $8.99 :) only problem is, on 360, you get no volume control with most of those.

Dice, you really selling your PSP? What's your asking price?

yup i really dont no the price right now all am looking for is like an xbox 360 HD and headset or just 90 bucks

hey dice does your hbox dvd drive have a white or chrome covering? it could be because some of the early white xbox 360's couldnt play xbox 1 games

i have the white dvd drive and when i put the hd hard drive my friend lean me and it works so if anything just let me no

i was doing some searching around and i found out that i have the HITACHI DVD Drive i wanna know if that one is moddable i need to no ASAP

well the xbox 360 hitachi drive is hackable, i dont know about the xbox 316's drive :)

WTF is a xbox 316?

im guessing he got a prerelease of teh 360, thats why he is having so many problems :)

LMAO iight ma bad i meant 360 how could i hack my dvd drive ???

you have to change the firmware on your dvd drive to play backups and burn dvd's or cd of emulators or ftp

i combined the topics, thats why theres so many double, triple, quad post. he made like 5 topics on teh same subject lol.

ok thats wat i thought was being said but i didnt know

its all good

ps- so far my adventure 360 modding has gone nuttin but bad...

why it is super easy to mod an xbox 360 witch cf u using

its not easy if you have good pc parts and you need gay VIA antique chipsets that arent worth a dam, if it wasnt for that my s**t would be good, i found a friend that has a VIA chipset, but, it isnt the ezact type chipset so my drive only got halfway into mode b. but i got another 360 that has a sammy drive so i hope i will have a better adventure with it.

o man sammy drives are more of a *female dog* cuZ u need a via chipset  cuz there is 2 versions of the sammy drive their is ms25 the one i got an ms28 the harder one to mod my computer did everything good the only drive i am having kinda problems modding iis the sammy ms28 might buy  it to mod my friends but i am good might post a video on my 360 cuz i ordered the ghost blue case
