1 Ring of Death E-74I

I just obtained the E-74 error on my Xbox, so it's either the AV cable or AV hardware failure, right?

The funny thing is, when I turn my 360 on w/out the cable, it works just fine, but I can't see anything, of course.

But when I plug it in while the xbox 360 is still on or just turn it on with the cable, it immediately goes to the Error Screen.

So I'm thinking that it's just the cable. Could that be the case?

Another thing that I might add is that:

My brother was playing Prince of Persia when the game went all red - the gameplay itself, but when he pressed start for the menu, the menu was the okay. it was already broken before and we went and got it "fixed".

So he took out the game and went to the dashboard, which was fine. He even watched a video for a while, no problems.

Then he turned it off, and when he turned it on the error appeared... So, any suggestions? I am confused why it would work then not work.

If you know your cables are plugged in then it means your 360's GPU went out. This happened to me. It is $100 to fix. Do what I did, call M$ and tell them you got the 3 Red Rings and send it in. They fixed mine for free that way. When they ask, is it three red rings or one, say THREE!!Taylorgc2004
