I must have figured something out >  Just tried my Hot Butter Knife trick on one that basically had no signs of life other than 3 red lights of death and nothing at all would show up on the screen not even a error message.  The second one I tried this on had the xclamp replacement already done and that only lasted a few months before it died hard. Its been dead and in the attic for years, which is great because it hasn't been updated for years.  Think I might try to get some homebrew going by JTAGing it.  Just thought I would share what I found.  Others have probably already done this and just haven't read about it.

Thank God for backups.  Still have my backup from 2006 of my 360's Sammy DVD  Gunna let this sucker run for awhile and see how it doe's.  Gunna have to pull my Sammy outta another box that has a totally different issue and get the firmware for this box back on it, the thing still has blades

e74 is a bad gpu, i supply thousands of GPUs online as well as use them in my shop and we sometimes get e74 on them which is fixed by putting a new gpu on it

in the past i did flows on them and they worked for a while but e74 is an issue with the chip not the board

for example if you take a e74 gpu and put it on another console it will give it e74

I am starting to think this too. Reball or reflow, a few days later/weeks later, E74.
