1 power section is red- towel trick?

K, so after sixteen months with no problems, less than an hour ago I turn off my 360, and I turn it back on..and it tells me that there's an error, number 74 to be exact.

I check online, and it tells me that it's the AV cables..but it's not, because everything's fine back there, I even switched them with another pair, and it doesnt work. So I call customer suppport, and the guy tells me that I need to send it in with 99 bux, since my warrenty expired.

yeah, screw that.

So I've heard about the towel trick, At this point, I am pretty desperate. Should I try it? I've only seen it being refered to when there is three blinking lights, not one. If not, any other suggestions?

u might need to buy new cables...

i have another set of av cables, and i tried it, but alas, nothing.

i went ahead and did the towel trick...it worked for a day. then it gave me the same message. then i did the towel trick again, and it's working..but when I turn it off, it will most likely give me the message again, I just know it for some reason. I think its something to do with the GPU, because there were some graphical problems when I loaded the Godfather: The Game, and Lumines Live. Every other game worked fine, though.

so I guess I'm fine doing the towel trick a bunch of times for the next month. me and my brother will have enough money to get a new one by then.

just let your xbox run with the exhuast vents covered up and get the rrod... then you stil have warranty.

btw: i got a 1 red section when I got my replacement a few months back... 360 still works, sorta

I thought ALL 4 lights meant A/V cables. Izzymoney

It is........, 1 is an overheat i think:shock:
