my xbox when i turn it on has one single red flashing light which i have been told is a hardware fault. it does give me a fault code of e74, i have rang xbox and they are asking for 70 pounds. has anyone else had this problem ans how did they fix it
 
Yeah happened to me yesterday, i ain't paying microsoft money for they're common problem , it's the second time it has happened to me and now looking for a ps3, microsoft can stick they're XBOX up they're XBOX. I have had a playstation 2 for 7 years or so and not one thing has gone wrong with it. DO NOT DO THE TOWEL TRICK FOR E74.
You could potentially put it in graver danger. Just out of curiosity , did you happen to download the new maps for world at war?.

As mentioned, each quadrant on the set of flashing red lights indicates a different issue. If all of the lights but the first section are flashing, this means a general hardware failure has occurred. There is little to be done other than trying to unhook and reattach your cables. This problem is a sure sign a visit to the repair center is in your console’s future. If the problem is indicated in the second quadrant of the system, it is merely overheating. As too many hours of GRAW will do that to a unit, the proposed cure here is to unplug the unit from the power supply, let it sit to cool down, and perhaps begin scouting for a better location to store your precious investment.

A problem indicated in the third quadrant of the Xbox 360 ring of light is diagnosed as a hardware failure. Once again, try re-inserting all of your cords and cables, but this problem should definitely be dealt with by the repair center. If all four lights are flashing on the front of your console, this is perhaps the easiest problem to fix. This is an issue with the AV cable not being properly inserted into the back of the console. The cure? Just make sure the cord “clicks” once it has been inserted into the unit. If that doesn’t work, of course call the repair center, but the four lights are the easiest of the problems to rectify.
