Eric Frey Imagine you have just returned into town after successfully completed a quest that has taken you hours to complete. Nothing left to do but save, right? All of a sudden your television suddenly becomes discolored or even fuzzy. Hoping that it is nothing more than a TV malfunction, your console does the worst thing possible-it freezes altogether. God have mercy on whoever is in your direct vicinity. A frozen game is every gamer’s worst nightmare. However, there are a number of ways to go about fixing this situation quickly and efficiently.
There are a few reasons the Xbox will flash these error alerts. One problem is one that many will likely experience, but there could also be a number of varying problems that may factor in. To diagnose this problem, one must understand what are called the “E” errors.
An “E” error signifies when your Xbox 360 displays one red light in the bottom left hand corner. This will typically show up once the console is rebooted. After restarting the system, you should receive one red flashing light, followed by an onscreen error of sorts. These errors are conveyed by an “E”, and will be paired with two numbers.
Should you receive an E64, E65 or E66 error, this means that there is something wrong with the DVD drive. Overheating can be a culprit of this. It is highly suggested that you look online for a guide on how you can repair your Xbox 360 when there are DVD drive errors. Restarting the system can sometimes remedy this.
If you come by an E67, E68 or an E69 error, it means there is a problem with the hard drive. You can try to unplug your hard drive and play without it, or you can attempt to reformat it. If you are going to attempt to reformat it, make sure you have instructions from a reputable repair service or guide online and follow it closely. If you come across an E73 message, your console has a general hardware issue. An example of this type of problem would be your Ethernet or networking port. To check and see if it is truly a cable problem, try playing without the Ethernet cable plugged in.
The most common of the “E” messages is the E74 error. You may be experiencing this because the AV cables are not correctly installed. This can sometimes be corrected by unplugging your Xbox, and then plugging it back in. If the problem does not cease to exist, it may be because of a defective ANA chip or a general hardware error related to your system overheating.
There is nothing more frustrating then having your gaming interrupted due to a mysterious “E” error. But before you can repair your Xbox 360, it is important to determine what exactly each error means. After diagnosing the problem, look online for some solutions, or refer to some of the simple methods listed in this article.
