E74 XBOX 360 ERROR xclamp mod didn't work. help!!!!!?
So last august i bought a used XBOX 360 Zephyr model for my birthday
About 2 months later i received the E74 Error and about 2 weeks later after calling Microsoft seeing i was 2 months out of warranty and that there was nothing they could do. So i ventured inside and did the xclamp mod. removing the xclamps replacing the thermal paste and replacing the xclamps with machine screws and nylon washers
It was successful and i was happy...for about 1 week
then look whos back
E74!!!
My only idea is that its the ANA chip
I don't want to do some stupid towel trick or a penny trick
I want a fix that will fix this problem for a long time
Please help!
You need a reflow, you're not going to be able to get the xbox hot enough under it's own power.
E74 is caused by the gpu losing connection to the hana/ana chip. The hana/ana chip basically controls the different video connections and how the gpu determines which signals to send to the av port.
A reflow will heat up the solder bga under the chip to melt it and fix the connection from the gpu to the motherboard. I own a hot air bga solder rework/reflow machine, here's a picture of it.
The reflow nozzle will fit the chip that needs to be reflowed, this will ensure that there is no damage to any other components from excessive heat. Inside the reflow nozzle temperatures can reach up to 480C (896F). The lead free solder that microsoft uses takes about 430F to properly melt. A lot of the times the solder points are damaged or have corrosion from exposure to moisture in the air. I use kester 951 reflow flux to help clean the solder bga for a good solid connection.
The reflow nozzle isn't the only part of the machine, the plate or station the motherboard is mounted to is also important. Before a reflow i will set the preheater to about 240C (464F), this will help prevent any damage from sudden temperature change. For all bga chips you need to evenly heat the area or you can cause irreparable damage to the motherboard. The preheater is setup to secure the motherboard as well. This can fix an excessively warped motherboard, It takes roughly 2 hours on a secured preheater to fix even the most warped motherboards.
After a reflow i jump the transistor that controls the fans so the fans get a steady 12V. I also update the heatsinks to the latest revisions so the xbox will run at lower temperatures. Usually a repaired xbox runs about 100F idle and 115-120F under load. I replace the xclamps using the llama xclamp replacement, this will make sure the motherboard is flat at 8 additional points.
You'll have to do all these things to permanently fix the e74 error. If you don't then the error will keep coming back.
Anyway you're not going to be able to fix this yourself, you might as well pay to get it reflowed or buy a 100% functional xbox (i currently have 3 rrod proof xbox's for sale)
Let me know if you have any questions, you can contact me via my yahoo answers profile.
EDIT:
Bob Saget you're completely wrong, e74 is caused by the gpu connection to the hana/ana chip. The penny trick is only used when the xbox has freezing issues or 0102 (error in the digital backbone). The xbox has 8 64mb memory modules, if one of the modules has continuity issues then the xbox will either freeze or throw a 0102. The penny trick applys pressure to the memory module in an attempt to fix the connection between the module and the motherboard.
Simply put, the penny trick won't fix e74.
