hey all i have a problem of sorts my son turned on my 360 this morning , and the lower left quadrant on the ROL was red {like the e74 error} and ive tried googling it and it said this is due to a modded xbox ? my xbox is no way or how been modded { i play on xbl so i would have been banned already . do any of you know or have had this error happen to them ? my box is an arcade jasper bought in march of this year so im pretty upset this is my 3rd box i love it but if this is the road to the graveyard im done with the 360 sadly .


thanks in advance to anyone who has an extra info !

troubleshooting tips:

1. Turn off your console, and then disconnect and reconnect all the cables. Turn on the console again.
2. If you have an Xbox 360 Hard Drive attached to your console, follow these steps:
   1. Turn off your console, and then remove the hard drive.
   2. Turn on your console again to see whether you still receive the error message.
   3. If you do not receive the error, turn off your console, and then reattach the hard drive.
   4. Turn on the console again.
   Note You may have to try this procedure more than one time to make sure that you only receive the error message when the hard drive is attached.
3. If you have an Xbox Memory Unit (MU) inserted into your console, follow these steps:
   1. Turn off your console, and then remove the MU.
   2. Turn on your console again to see whether you still receive the error message.
   3. If you do not receive the error message, turn off the console, and then reinsert the MU.
   4. Turn on the console again.
   Note You may have to try this procedure more than one time to make sure that you only receive the error message when an MU is inserted.
4. If you continue to experience this issue, contact Xbox Customer Service. Note If the agent cannot help you resolve this issue, you must return the console to Microsoft for repair.

if you do the above procedure and it still fails, call (800) 4 MY XBOX and tell them you get an E76 error. E66 are not covered under warranty. E76 are. Well do this if you want a free repair (hoping the repair tech doesnt make a big stink about it). if not and you tell them its an E66 its most likely a $100 fix (as most of the are).


btw you can also report the "E76 error" thru this link to xbox.com

although you'd have to have a windows live id link to your gamertag.

this is what you've probably seen online about a modded 360

has to do with a modded dvd drive. as yours hasnt been modded it seems like it may be a possible hdd read error.


you COULD format your hdd, but you would have to backup all your information (to a memory unit or a secondary hdd) via the xbox.com procedure:

but i'd try the above for a free fix first. also while they're (xbox) on the phone ask them for a shipping box. some people still get the shipping box's. officially they're only required to send you a UPS label while you pack up your unit.
