The E74 error is caused by the scaler chip at the back of the console taking too much heat. To fix it you need to stop the heat build up.

You can do this yourself using a good guide that will show you how to fix it with household items or you can send it in and they will fix it for you.

I have a hunter with 3 wires black white green how do I wire it to a three wire cable black red white ground the fan also has a light and remote but remote is Brocken want to use it with no remote model...

Black to Black - White to White, Green to Green (copper). Put a wire nut on the red wire.

The Black is suppose to run the light (or the fan) while the Red is suppse to run the fan (or light). The White is common and the ground is ... well the ground.

If you have a light kit on the fan, you can control the light and the fan separately ... or you can run them together.

Let me know how this comes out ...

Thanks for your question @ FixYa.com

I start up my xbox and it goes into a screen that says error e74

the e74 error is a problem with your AV cable or the HANA scaler chip on the board, but the one red flashing light means you have a general hardware failure in others words its buggered, luckily this error has a 3 year free replacement warranty on it so just send it back to microsoft for a free replacement

My xbox 360 went from a red tint screen and now is just black w/ white specs (audio fine). I have checked and tv, wires, disks are fine. There are no red lights or e74 error (just green light).Unit is 2 yr...

If you are after the quickest way to give you xbox 360 the RROD, the Red Ring Of Death, simply wrap it up in a towel whilst it is turned on, keeping an eye on it so it doesnt cause a fire hazard as they can get extremely hot.
Once a high enough tempreature is reached, the Main Printed Circuit Board will flex, causing the two large microprocessors to lift off the surface of the Printed Circuit Boar, which will either give you the red LED in the player 1, player 3 and player 4 sections or will give you one red LED section lit up with an error message on the screen. Please think very carefully about doing this as there may be no way in reversing the damage you may cause. Good Luck.
