E73 like the RRoD? I didn't know they were the same. I fixed my 360 after it gave my the RRoD but I know nothing about the E73 error.

E73 is not the same as RRoD, RRoD is a hardware failure.  
RRoD is covered by a 3 year warranty, I don't know if E73 is covered though.

Looks to me like your 360 has poor ventilation in that little hole. When you get it fixed you should have it in the open.

happened the same to me over year ago... never went back.I feel  for you man 
 
The store i bought it from just traded me a Ps3 (they were out of 360) i am not sure that a lot of stores do that... I had to wait for almost a whole year before they made that decision meanwhile they were "trying"  to fix it.
 
 
maybe you can use that towel thing i have read about

I hope it is, otherwise I'd be even more doomed than I am already.   Any advice for the E73? "

Sorry cant help ya. When i bought my xbox the first time i had to take it back two times in the same day. Lets just say the 3rd time i went i was pissed off beyond words becase it was an hour drive each way to the closest city to buy it. And this was back when gas was $1.70 a liter! First one just totaly didnt turn on, took it back they told me it was a new one but it turned out to be a broken one some one put in the wrong box. Then finaly the 3rd time i got it home and it has worked ever since with no problems.*knocks on wood* Thats was 2-3 years ago. I havent turned it on in 6 or so months so for all i know it could be broken ^_^

 E73 is a problem with your ethernet.. Also if you have one of those fans on the back of the 360, take it off and put it back on and it might work again. Also I got an E73 error before and I unplugged the console and plugged it back in and it worked again.

Only 10 months before that happened? I feel sorry for you.

"This popped up out of nowhere with remarkable speed, just as the RRoD problems started to die down. Conspiracy theorists wanna expand on what i'm insinuating here? "

"The first time my 360 died on me it had an E 73 error, the warranty didn't cover that error so I had to pay to fix it, I think what gave it that was that it had a faulty disc-drive and something else, I don't quite remember what... But yeah, I think that usually you have to pay about 70 to 80 euros to get that repaired, well that's what I had to do...Yeah mine was a disc-drive  and soemthing else... anyways umm doesn't help much, but just call Microsoft; I think I had to get it sent to Germany. "

Fix it, sell it, move on. No more heart break, which you will experience if you keep it.

Just ring the number and stop PROCRASTINATING.

send it into microsoft. i've had this happen to me before. it sucked really bad i didn't do anything for 3 weeks.

So because the ethernet port fails the POST the whole system doesn't work? Wow, well done on that one Microsoft, seriously well done.

Well now you can stop holding your breath every time you turn your 360 on.
