Ik was vanmiddag eens even op zoek gegaan naar mogelijke redenen van het vele crashen van de X360. Zoals veel wel hebben gelezen,gezien of zelf hebben ondervonden begonnen er ineens 3 rode lampjes te knipperen op de xbox (E 74 ERROR).
Veel hebben hun Xbox weer teruglaten sturen ter reperatie.
Nu kwam ik dus vanmiddag dit stukje tegen van iemand die waarschijnlijk de oorzaak ervan heeft ontdekt.
Die jongen had de stekker in een stekkerdoos zitten en had continu last van een vastlopende Xbox en de 3 rode lampjes. Nadat hij de stekker rechtstreeks in de muur stopte kon hij voor 14 uur zonder problemen spelen.
Hier het volledige verhaal!
Another member of Gamespot, howoldareyou, has discovered another solution to the 360 freezing that he claims solved the "three red lights of death problem" for him.
Here is his post:
Helllo all, like many other unfortunate individuals who fell victim to the 3 redlights of terror I decided to do some deduction problem solving. My system flashed the 3 redlights while playing "Call of Duty" and refused to turn on for days afterwards. i did everything M.$ suggested (dissconnect everything and reconnect). It wasn't until I realized that maybe it's the source of power that is the problem (Follow me). If you are plugging your Xbox360 into a cheap surge protector or general plug strip you might want to plug your xbox into a very good quality protecctor or plug it in the wall. I plugged mine into the wall and VOILA it works flawlessy......plug it back into the power strip and it works for about 10 minutes...plug it back into the wall and VOILA it works perfect again. It's been running solid for 14 hours straight and no problems have occured in the past few days since it's been plugged into the wall
I think the power brick is overly sensitive to Good CLEAN power. A cheap protector or plug strip might not be providing the proper flow of power to the unit. Anyway, when I plug it into the strip, the xbox will start to do the 3 redlights (except the upper right one) which indicates a hardware failure. I'm troubled to think that the many people who returned their unit, only to get a new one that does the same thing, when the real problem is where they are plugging in their unit./ ANYWAY, it works for me...hope it works for you. provide feedback and let us know."
BRON!!!
Hier nog een oplossing volgens dezelfde jongen!
ANOTHER SOLUTION TO THE REDLIGHTS OF DEATH:
I've spent a few hours troubleshooting the redlights of death last night. AS I had mentioned before, plugging it into a wall got rid of it, or plugging it into a good quality strip.
The SECOND solution is to unplug your controller...turn the Xbox360 on then plug the controller back it. this works flawlessly as well. It deffinitly seems the controller connection is not that tight and tends to move a bit. Unplugging it from the 360 before powering it on must bypass the diagnostics routing.
Dus blijkbaar ligt het toch aan de voeding en niet aan de Xbox zelf.
