Did Microsoft just replace the way the 360 reports a general error condition? The newer models just report an E74 instead of 3 rings, or is this a different problem? |
"After investigating the issue, we have determined that the E74 error message can indicate the general hardware failure that is associated with three flashing red lights error on the console. "
I think it may be a mixture. And not only for new units, but for firmware updated older units as well.
I think the word "investigating" may be an exaggerated word here.

That would be pretty sad if they still have the hardware defect, but just changed how it is displayed. I will give MS the benefit of the doubt and hope that the E74 is a different problem.

The procedure to temporary fix E-74 errors yourself is usually the same as for most RRoD problems. Get a heatgun and heat the GPU/scaler...
