      Great vid, very informative, and made me realize what i did wrong on the first xbox i did this fix on. I forgot to make the holes bigger for the screws, but i also did the xclamp fix on the cpu so i think that would have balanced it out. It could have also been too much thermal compound, or screws were too tight/loose. Anyway great vid and very informative.

      Ok guys, seriously this trick does fix the problem. I had the famous E74 error and i tried this method and it worked. I didn’t used these washers at all though. I put some “homemade” kaoutsouk washers, and when i turn the xbox on it still showed me the one red light and E74 error. I left it on for about 10 minutes, turned it off for about 10 minutes and when i turned it again on…. THE ERROR FIXED!!! thanks man, you really saved my euros

      Okay, here’s my problem now. I was reading the text tutorial and when you do the overheat over the unit, you want to get three red rings. My issue is that I get either 1 red ring or 2 red rings. Anyone care to help? Is it better if I removed the excess residue/goo and replace it with Arctic Silver 5?

      Can anyone answer my question? Okay:

      I had done this before and it worked, but couple days ago I got the E-74 again. After retightening the screws, at 24:37 where he turns it on, mine shows one red light. Anyone care to help explain what I need to do?

    • These fixes don’t …
      These fixes don’t work at all. I’ve spent endless hours trying to fix my xbox with these how to videos and nothing has worked. This fix worked for about a day and a half, but now they xbox won’t even reset from the e74 error. My suggestion to everyone out their is to buy a whole new xbox.
