Tim asked:


My graphics randomly became a little distorted while playing Halo 3… then the next time I turned on the box, I had the E 74. I’m guessing it’s just something with the GPU. Is there any way to fix this just by a simple cleaning or tightening of a few screws on the GPU if I open up the xbox? The warranty with Microsoft is up since I’ve had the console over a year already, and they want $99 for me to send it in and get repaired, rofl. I’d rather just buy a new one then sending it in and paying half cost to get it fixed (probably crappily) and have it take weeks to get back. Any suggestions? Thank you – anything will help. I have access to Torx screwdrivers and can get washers, but since it’s not the 3 red lights, I don’t think I have to do the x clamp thing or whatever to fix it. Thanks!
