Before I explain what's just happened I just want to clarify that I am not a leach, I had an account previously but I forgot my password and the e-mail linked to the account has been blocked and I cannot recover it. So please don't just reply with "don't leach"

Anyways, my xbox had e73. I took the xbox apart, re-applied the thermal paste, changed the x-clamps for better ones and then heated the xbox up. I let my xbox cool for three hours and reconnected it. Now I do not have e73 but instead e74. But for some reason the e74 error doesn't have three red rings like usual, it has one in the right lower quadrant. Any ideas on what I should do?

That's because E74 is only one error light in the bottom left quadrant. E74 usually deals with either the HANA chip or GPU issues. And they way you're going about trying to fix it is very bad for the motherboard, so I recommend not trying again. Even if you do get it to work that way you won't get much more life out of it. Send it to someone to reflow/reball, higher chance of success that's not super bad for all the other components on the motherboard.

Contact an admin about your account, they may be able to help somehow.

And follow what Harmon said. People fix those things in the xbox 360 marketplace section on here, there are stickies for them.
