so ya. i fix comptuers for a living. played a 360 once or twice but thats it.

today on the job, a dude wanted me to fix his xbox, he said it was like 4 or 5 years old, i didnt question him. turns out its only 2 and some years old now after he gives it to me broken, after i tried fixing it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

anways its been opened, so i cant sent it back right? i didnt break NOTHING. im good with computers and directions.

ANYWAYS it has the e74 error, so i put a blow dryer on the clean gpu for 5 minutes, reassembled using ac5 TIM and same error. bam.

so six hours later i get home, and realize if i put different screws on the hsf i could totally clamp that sob down more, and after reading xclamp guies, apparently im not the first one to think of it.

But now how do i fix the e74 error? im so confused on that part. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) only guide i saw was saying to head up gpu for like 5 minutes to reflow solder. which makes perfect since, i do it on gpu cards and motherboards constantly.

so whats the word?

If you're good with computers then you ought to know that you can't reflow solder with a blow drier!!!!!  You need a reflow station or a heatgun for that!!

Have a search for Team HYBRID x-clamp fix, plus a heatgunning tutorial and also tutorials on putting 12v through the fans and the modding the fan shrouds.

All these tutorials are on this site. Good Luck.
