New Xbox 360 hardware failures being reported in significant numbers!!! March 24, 2009 11:03 AM

http://www.dailytech.com/New+Xbox+360+Hardware+Failures+Being+Reported+in+Significant+Numbers/article14662.htm

Xbox 360 failures are on the rise since the launch of the New Xbox Experience.http://images.dailytech.com/nimage/10658_rrod.jpg



A known Xbox 360 hardware issue is beginning to surface in significant numbers recently based on research conducted by video game site Joystiq.Tentatively called the Xbox 360 E74 error, one of the lights on the“Ring of Lights” on the front of your Xbox 360 console flashes red andyou receive the error code and message: "E74. System Error. ContactXbox Customer Support".The symptoms involve the bottom right portion of the indicator ringrepeatedly flashing on and off and lines or snow will become visibleacross the screen.


According to the initial Joystiq article posted on March 13, the Microsoft representative Joystiqcontacted told them she wasn't familiar with the problem and that theywere looking in to the issue. The E74 error is a known issue that isrecognized by Microsoft and is documented on Microsoft’s own support site complete with diagrams. The support site has a last revised time stamp of March 3, 2009 as of this writing, predating the Joystiq article that broke the story.
Microsoft’s support site provides no explanation for the error otherthan to state, “This behavior occurs when the Xbox 360 consoleexperiences a hardware failure.” Joystiq theorizes the E74error is related to a hardware video problem where the ANA/HANA scalingchip on Xbox 360s equipped with HDMI functionality has come loose.

The main theory put forward that tries to explain why thisparticular hardware issue is being seen more frequently is theincreased graphical stress caused by the introduction of the New XboxExperience. The New Xbox Experience was launched on November 19 and provided Xbox Live users with a complete rework of the user interface.
One of the significant changes introduced by the New Xbox Experiencewas the removal of the blade interface. The blades allowed users toaccess pages of information and features quickly due to the fact theyare stacked on top of each other. The new interface uses full windowsto spread out the screen.


Another significant change introduced by the New Xbox Experience wasthe implementation of a graphical avatar system. Users are allowed tochoose their avatar from a large group; each avatar is dresseddifferently, has a unique hair style, and skin color. Once you havechosen your avatar, you are allowed to customize it with new clothing,accessories, and hair. The stress caused by these visual changes may bewhat is taking many Xbox 360s to the breaking point for unlucky customers.

An interesting pattern can be seen on a Google Trends chartthat shows a noticeable spike in users researching the E74 error inNovember 2008 right around the launch of the New Xbox Experience.


Joystiq’s analysis of survey respondents show a similar pattern of increased E74 failuresstarting in November of last year. A conspiracy theory making therounds speculates Microsoft may have changed the system diagnosticstest to report Red Ring of Death error as E74 instead to save money.For errors reported as E74, it would force customers to pay $100 forthe repair if the error occurs later than 12 months after purchase. TheE74 error is not covered under the 3-year extended warranty set inplace for the Red Ring of Death malfunction. Joystiq pointsout that this theory is unlikely because survey respondents are stillreporting Red Ring of Death errors after the launch of the New XboxExperience.

On March 19, Joystiq posted Microsoft’s official response to the E74 issue where they stated:
E74 is a general hardware error onXbox 360 indicated by a single red flashing light in the Xbox Ring ofLight and an error message visible on the television. This error isunrelated to the three flashing red lights error and there is not asingle root cause. We encourage anyone who receives this error tocontact Xbox Customer support through www.xbox.com/support or1-800-4-MY-XBOX. The majority of customers who own Xbox 360 consolescontinue to have a terrific experience from their first day, andcontinue to, day in and day out.

As pointed out by Joystiq, Microsoft’s response fails toadequately answer what causes the E74 error, if there has been anincrease in incidents, and why it is not covered while the Red Ring ofDeath is. The evidence is mounting as Joystiq has posted an update on March 23showing E74 errors have definitely increased since the introduction ofthe New Xbox Experience. It remains to be seen how long it takesMicrosoft to acknowledge there is an issue and deal with in a way thatsatisfies their current customers. As past history shows an adequate response may take time.

Microsoft’s top game executive, Robbie Bach, president of the Entertainment & Devices group, said at a dinner in July 2008 that Microsoft’s own research shows that gamers have largely forgiven the company for defective Xbox 360s. Depending on how this issue is handled current customers may not be so quick to forgive.

唉，神机如果还输给这种质量的机器，情何以堪啊:D

Xbox 360、今度は「E76」エラーの報告件数が急上昇http://www.technobahn.com/cgi-bin/news/read2?f=200903241005マイクロソフトの家庭用ゲーム機「Xbox 360」に関して、昨年8月以降から「E76」というエラーメッセージが表示されて起動しなくなる不具合の発生回数が急上昇していることが23日までに明らかとなった。ネット上で出現する単語の頻出度を時系列グラフで調べることができるGoogle Trendでも「E76」の頻出度は昨年8月以降から急上昇する形となっており、マイクロソフトが既存の不具合修正のために加えた修正が別の問題を引き起こしてしまったのではないか、といった声もでてきている。マイクロソフトによると「E76」というエラーは、「本体の電源ランプ部分が赤く1個点灯した上でTVに「E76」というエラーメッセージが表示されることを示す」とした上で「『E76』と『Red Ring Of Death』とは別の原因による障害」と説明し、このようなエラーが発生した場合にはサポートに連絡するように求めている。

微软的软件产品是必须要打补丁地。至于硬件产品嘛，软匪们活该倒霉喽……

没关系,可以再买一台...史上质量最棒的主机

Xbox360继“3红灯”后再爆新bug！！！

谣言!!!!纯属谣言!!!!xo的显卡最强大....dx10...不!dx12

这个事情是这样的，因为在双65机器上的E74发生频率比以前高两倍以上，因此外界就有揣测，说微软是不是改三红为E74了，而三红保三年E74只保一年的区别，也使得这个揣测背后的阴谋论甚嚣尘上:鼻血猴:

至少国内索饭对于XO的支持是不遗余力的，经常以各种借口买台XO~:猴子坏笑:

这世界上奇迹真多。
这样的质量还能通货。实力啊。

是机器总会坏的

我就日微软大爷

微软永远是伟大的..

有着如此残缺的东西，都能卖出几千万....

软件占绝对优势的情况下依然做不了霸主,原因所在.

要几种吗,1种就够了,XB系向来不爱防盗版.

三红机的质量是很好的，你们不要黑她好吗？

你要同情,一方面想当正版饭立牌坊说别人5元饭,实际上挂个贞洁牌子搞基~~~


:企鹅抽筋蹬腿:

有一定优势而已，赢不了关键的lu市场，是很难当霸主的

等双45NM版:兔爷赏个吻:

我的第一台XO就是E74走掉的，先花屏然后3红出E74，最后主机300块处理掉了～～～

从FC开始玩游戏机，这么多主机下来就XO不是寿终的，强烈谴责下:怒:

:猴子喷火: bs ms! 质量连神舟都不如。

那应该是我落后于时代了,身上了LU成分瞬间全消失了.:囧RZ:

垃圾三红机

:企鹅抽筋蹬腿: 三红鸡万碎，万万碎

E74早都有了

对于偶这种有主机收藏癖的人来说，还真是烦啊。。
除了wii外，其他都给人感觉不踏实。。

XO的质量问题对中国玩家来说实在是麻烦...

特别是对我这种一心玩D的来说...

客观饭始祖澳洲大富豪又来显示客观了
为战区的客观饭们再次树立起了榜样
:企鹅拍手带字幕: :企鹅拍手带字幕:

E74很早就有了，看来最近是多发期了
对于E74修理师傅们都是按照三红处理的，维修方法都一模一样的

E74原来就有，又不少见

送图了送图了XD

e74是新bug吗？我的90型360，平均一个星期三红一次，e74属于乱入，都是靠憋成二红复原的。。。。
我不相信双65纳米的能彻底杜绝三红，爆发的时间未到罢了。

双65nm的XO出现后我一度动摇过 但是经验和直觉告诉我 要屏牢 这事没完 果然……
微软则阿乌卵

毛病真多。

哪个sb造谣说xo是dx12显卡？脑子烧了:哇哦(赵叔专用): :哇哦(赵叔专用): :哇哦(赵叔专用):

没人翻译下？E74是因为秋季更新？？？？双65也逃不过？:呆猴:

所以说，xo先前的1千多万用户早就被ROX死光射呱了，现在那个销量偏低是幻觉，很明显。。。。呵呵:大笑:

MS应该查下XO的设计师是不是拿了索尼的奖金了。。。:鼻血猴:
