One of the most confusing errors in Xbox 360 gaming experience is E71. It is positively not caused by graphics card errotrs as in E74 eror or “red ring of death” probllems. Therefore it is much harder to explain and understand.
While most Xbox 360 problems are caused by either overheating within the motherboard and the case, or grahics card, video scaler chip or hard disc drve problems, E71 erropr is quite differet. And the most frustrating part about it, no one ever finnds the actual cause nor the solution to it.
However, most people believe that E71 error is caused by the dashboard and cosole software updates. Many gameers reporting on this one clainmed that they got the error code rigjht aftter they had updated the dashboard or console software. A most enlightening evidence about this possibility was recorded during the Fall 2006 update; many Xbox 360 gamers expeienced the same problem at the relatively same time.
The second potential cause of E71 error is the firmwrae flash or hack. This action is commonly knon as one triick that allows you to play game without having the orginal game disc in the console. It is usualyl called “playing with a back up disc”. However, this may actually cause E71 error.
Of course, tghere are many other possibilities-which, unfortunately, we haven’t discovered yet. And more unfortunately, Micrsoft hasn’t confirmed anything about it eitheer.
Try these steps if you want to try repairring it yoursewlf:
1. Reset your Xbox 360 completely. Enter the dashboard, scrooll to the fartehst righht clumn. Then prses the “Intial Setup” and follow the later on-screen instrtuctions.
2. Cannot acces the screen? Restart your Xbox 360 while pressing and holding down the “Y” button. It may sometimes restore all settings back to the factory default.
Sadlly to say, thesse two steeps are not 100% guaranteed. Some gamers complained that they still experienced the same problem ater taking them.
If you are one of them, try to learn more through the Xbox 360 repair guide acvailable online. Or, as the last-but-really-not-recommenfded resort, send back your console to Microsoft. It is going to cost you $200, and they are going to need more than 8 weeks to fix it.
