ANSWERED E74 falcon worth fixing?

[daman10]

I dont really mess with RROD consoles but this one has caught my eye as it has a dash that can be jtaged. Whats the method of fixing E74 is it a GPU replacement for a proper fix. Just trying to weigh up the options if its worth fixing ir not.

I think the e74 error means that the gpu internal ram is failing and will require another gpu to be fitted. I had a e74 falcon given to me and one of the admins on here did the gpu swap and it never misses a beat. So I'd say yes, but I don't like binning stuff that can be fixed.
Cheers
Ian

yes I would try to repair it if I could get it cheap or free..

I know how to google but 90% of information refers to sh*tty "bolt fixes" im more after an indication of the sort of price im looking at for a proper fix.

Proper fix is to replace the GPU. I did my Son's console about 2-3 years ago now and still going strong.

martin is right it needs to be replaced with a good one and can only be done by a pro on a machine , you are looking around £50

If your Xbox breaks down and gives you an E 74 error, this is what you’re paying Microsoft $150 (plus shipping!) to do to it… not to mention you will be out of commission for several weeks while your console is traveling all over creation. And keep in mind, they’re not going to replace the bulky, unreliable x-clamps or take special care with their sub-par thermal paste. In all likelihood they’ll just glop it on and squish it down without any regard to your machine’s precious guts.

I don think he asked anything about what Microsoft does to fix it... Nice copy and paste by the way
