Re: E74 err /xbox 360 encoder chip err

haven't experienced the problem you're having, but i have to ask you this: did you get a warranty for your console? if you did, take it back to the shop and they should replace your console.

never ever buy hardware without getting a warranty.

well now they updated the warranty to a year, if you did not receive the email from xbox. also if you did end up paying the money to repair it, they are sending out reimbersement checks to anyone who did

Re: E74 err /xbox 360 encoder chip err

Not sure how long ago this post was but anyways, after making an update on my xbox it gave me this same error. It never had given me any problems or anything. I just dont get it. Would an update actually cause this time of a conflict so that it destroys my video encoder chip. Thanks for the help. Oh and I forgot to mention Ive had my xbox for a long while without any problmes. Plz any help would be great.
