I was playing MW2 today, when the maps suddenly got, 'grainy'. There was black lines down the walls and landscapes on the maps, but not the sky. so i cleaned the disc turned xbox off and on again, sorted cables out and reset my TV. After turning it off for the third time, i had the bottom right red ring with the error message E74. i have registered my console on xbox.com/support but it's gonna cost me £100 for a repair

Any Ideas?

Cheers.

hey if you bought it in 2008 call them at 1-800-4my-xbox and tell them and if you bought in 2008 you still have warenty =]

May take up to a month to get it back but it cost nothing

Wow, why the hell is it going to cost you £100 ? My dad got the RROD, he rung them up and they told him all xboxs now have 3 years guarantee

I bought my xbox off a friend, and i'm out of warranty, they should make xboxs more reliable instead of making customers shedding out the equivalent of half another xbox!

Well, my friend gave me one that he said had the three red rings. I was gonna flash it. Turns out it had one ring so I couldn't fix it for free. So I read up on the internet how to get three red rings. So I wrapped it up in like 3 or 4 towels. Put a demo disc in it. An let it play until it turned off. Then I was gonna freeze it because that was supposed to give the three red rings, but before I froze it, I tried it out. IT WAS FIXED! So try that.
