Xbox 360 Error E73 The Worst!

If it has to be the error code E73, you got the most irritating problem of all.
So many people, have the worst time of all trying to fix this error, E73 happens to be the worst!
Let’s first take a look at why it might have happened, and what causes it to happen.

Some say it’s something to do with power surges, for example:

Say there was a thunder storm and you’re playing your favorite game completely ignoring the fact that lightning was striking everywhere but on you and all the sudden your power goes out and comes back on just as fast as it went out, creating a power surge zipping right through the power cord of your Xbox 360 and frying the Ethernet port or motherboard.

That’s just one scenario!

The other, could be the Ethernet port just got twisted or burned out somehow, so the best thing you can do, is to take it to a professional but only after you’ve checked the necessary components first.

Like I said, the Xbox 360 error E73 is the worst one of all, because it’s really difficult to pinpoint the exact problem even after disassembling your console.

Make sure to check the AV cables, Power Supply cable, and any other extra attachments or accessories you may have, in fact remove all extra attachments or accessories, then try to power on your Xbox, if you still have no luck, it’s definitely something wrong with hardware failure.
If in fact it is hardware failure the best thing you can do, is to send it back to Microsoft if you’re covered under the warranty, remember not to take apart your Xbox 360 if your still covered under your warranty, if you’re not covered under the warranty however, the best thing you can do is to take it to a professional, where it could become quite pricey but much less than Microsoft will charge you.

You really don’t have too many choices when it comes to the Xbox 360 error E73, you can either fix the problem yourself by installing a newer Ethernet Port but that’s really taking a big chance so I don’t recommend it, sorry I could recommend anything other than having a professional fix it for you.
