so I played my xbox a few hours ago and it was fine, i turned it off, went downstairs, went back up to play, and i got an E73 error message with a red flashing light. I googled it but all i got was guides on how to fix it, that you had to buy, so fuck all that, anyone here know what i can do? My xbox has no warrenty anymore so I'll do whatever i need too to it

when did you buy your 360?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but E73 is the one they extended the warranty to 3 years for, because they said it's caused by the same hardware problem as the red ring. It sounds the same, at least.

I dont even use my ethernet port, whatever i used the towel trick,  i'll sell it to some idiot with a game and controller and get a jasper =)

That is great, fuck over somebody else for no reason. Let me guess, you are no older then 13?

I have a rrod 360 i got for free, i towel tricked, but sending into ms soon. I could sell it, but thats just bitch
 
i x-clamped my 360 because it stopped output of video, works perfect now. not my rrod one

I fixed two 360's by just waiting a while after it was broke and then sat it up vertically, then it worked. Eh, but the 360's break.

" Hey kane! unlucky dude!  Anyway... Dependimg on which country you live in, go on the MS website and search E74 error. There should be a link to sort it out. And, like I say, depending on which country you live in you might be able to get a free fix for your E74 error, and the great thing is; your extended warranty can be over by this point and it'll still be a free fix.  I live in the UK so... Hope this helps.  :-)  (Oh! btw, there policies on this matter may have changed since then because my xbox broke over 10 months ago now and I've had no reason to go and check since I had it back 2 weeks later and didn't have any problems affterwards.)
