Obviously the RROD is the most common way for a 360 to fail completely, but other errors such as E74 (which I got for the only time so far I had to send a 360 in) and disc read errors have also led to calls for the coffin. The third answer to this poll includes any failure of the disc tray, such as it not being able to open or if "To play this disc, please put it in an Xbox 360 console" shows up even on your 360. There are probably some other (Answer 4) problems that can also occur. I heard from someone on YouTube that his 360 flashed 4 lights even though his A/V cable was properly inserted and he even tried multiple A/V cables and even an HDMI cable. And those same cables worked fine on other 360s.
Ive been getting a disc unreadable message on most of my games. Not all. I have been trying to wait it out....I guess Im in denial. Will I have to call for the coffin?

It will progressively get worse. Unless there's a game you just can't stop playing for a couple weeks I'd send it off.
Had RROD in March. Microsoft returns a new 360 in April. Two and a half months later, I get one flashing red light. When the console fired up, it said E69, and then on another occasion I got E71. And then on another occasion I got E79. Maybe they're all similar?
I just bought a new HDTV on top of this and can't test it out until I get the 360 back. I don't feel like buying a PS3 or a Wii. I can't afford owning all of the systems these days.
Here's something that could be important: In March I got the RROD after playing CoD4 9 (single player-Veteran difficulty) all day long. Then I just got the one flashing light after playing the same game, but playing multiplayer all day long. CoD4 must really be a demanding game to run!
so what did you do to it? Im calling for the coffin tomorrow. Im getting sick of the darn thing giving me the error. It works on some games.....but on the majority of my games...nada.

If you still have your warrenty I dont think that you should try to fix it.
I got the E64 disc drive error, literally less than a day after I got a new 360 from M$. I can't open the disc drive, can't even load the dashboard. I'll be damned if I pay over $100 for M$ to fix it, I've been looking around for online repair shops. Anybody have any to suggest?
Yeah... the thing about E74 is that unlike the RROD it is extremely sudden. There are loads of premonitions for your console's RROD; such as freezing, audio static, glitches and disc tray errors. I remember the night my 360 got the E74 I was playing Sabotage on Overgrown, everything was normal. Then the very next match, without any sort of warning, black squares cluttered the screen. I went to restart my system and it showed the E74 message, but was able to start it up for one last time after to say my goodbyes and then when I restarted again, it failed, and never started up again.
when the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) becomes loose or fried - look it up on youtube its worse than the RROD in that not only is your console just as much of a brick, but its not covered under the 360's 3-year extended warranty and is a $100 charge to repair
