the problem with e-74 is very similer to 3rrod but instead of the solder joints being messed up in the gpu or cpu it is the HANA chip which is the small black chip behind the gpu(closer to the fans) to fix this you can try to reflow the solder by heating the chip up to roughly 217c for 20-30 seconds(best done with a thermocouple type thermometer to monitor the actual temp of the board) then letting the board sit for 30 min to completely cool down then reassemble applying fresh thermal paste to the gpu and cpu. use the guides above for teardown. i would not worry about doing the xclamp fix b/c your problem is not with the gpu or the cpu. hope this helps.

Good Luck,

Having just repaired this on my friends xbox 360, followed guide for RROD repair (as had that first and then had e74) I found a picture of the HANA chip on google with a hint to apply pressure on it when xbox is warming up. took no time at all and hey presto we have working machine! Don't know how long it will stay working, but for now...

The procedure is pretty much the same as fixing the RROD, you should look at my post from Here. iFixit also has this guide, and this kit for sale.

I would just like to highlight three useful information about fixing Xbox 360.

#1 tip to avoid Xbox red ring of death is to prevent Xbox overheating.

#2 never try to re-solder Xbox your own unless you are knowledgeable at it or you have a repair guide with you.

#3 Don't wrap the damaged Xbox 360 console with a bath towel, it will not do good to your Xbox.

For a detailed instruction about fixing Xbox 360 problems, you can look at this resource www.e74online.com just sharing to also contribute helpful information to Xbox lovers like me. This helped me fix my Xbox 360 so it may also help you.
