Better Understand E Errors So You Can Repair Your Xbox 360 No comments yet

Imagine playing a fun game of Halo and discovering the screen becomes discolored or fuzzy. You hope it is nothing more than a minor problem with the television set but when the game freezes you realize it is the console that is the problem. This is a scenario mostly all gamers would approach with dread. Thankfully, there are a variety of ways that you can utilize to repair your Xbox 360 in a quick and expedient manner.

What you need to understand is that there are several different reasons why you may be experiencing problems with your system. While there is one problem in particular that many experience, there are numerous problems you may be dealing with. To help you repair your Xbox 360, it is best that you understand the “E” errors better first.

An “E” error is signified when an Xbox 360 experiences one red light in the lower left hand corner. Commonly, this is going to develop after the system has been re-booted. Once rebooting the system has been completed, you will receive a single red flashing light along with an onscreen error of one variety or another. These errors will be signified by the presence of an “E” along with two numbers.

When the system displays an E64, E65 or E66 error, these errors will all be directly related to problems with the DVD drive. Commonly, this can be the result of overheating, although it is important to look online for the means in which you can repair your Xbox 360 when there is the presence of DVD drive errors. It is also possible to try and repair things quickly by simply rebooting the system.

If you are receiving an E67, E68 or an E69 error, these are hard try problems. You can try to unplug your hard drive and play without it or you can attempt to reformat it. If you are going to attempt to reformat it, make sure you have instructions to follow from online. A general hardware error is going to be signified by an E73 message. This can be caused by problems with the Ethernet or networking port. If you do have an Ethernet cable plugged in, try playing without it to see if it is an issue with the cable.

The most common problem that occurs with great frequency is the E74 error. The most common reason this error occurs due to the fact the AV cable is not properly or correctly installed. Thankfully, you can repair an Xbox 360 and solve this common problem through disconnecting it and then opting to reconnecting it. However, if this is not the real problem there may be a faulty ANA chip or, possibly, a general hardware error that is the result of the system overheating.

There are countless errors you and your system can experience while enjoying a movie or a thrilling Xbox game. Before you can repair your Xbox 360, you need to determine what the exact problem is. After identifying the problem, look online for solutions or try out some of the simple methods listed in this article.

The Locomotive Exchange Trials of 1948 No comments yet

Soon after the railways were nationalised in 1948, the then newly formed British Railways Board (BRB) undertook a comprehensive review of the locomotive stock it had just inherited from the ‘Big Four’ independent railway companies. It was quickly realised that the whole stable of steam locomotives constituted of hundreds of different class types, great numbers of which were nearing retirement or in some cases, were already life-expired. Right from the beginning the government-owned organisation needed to reduce costs as soon and as practical as possible. This would not be easy with a railway almost bankrupted by war. However, work began straight away and during its first 12 months, the BRB had recruited the renowned locomotive engineer Robert A Riddles, previously of the LMS, to take responsibility for the Mechanical & Electrical Engineering department. Riddles was given the task of developing a small range of new steam locomortive designs, the intention being that they replace the older pre-nationalisation locomotives.

Riddles’ settled for a plan of action which was to utilies the best pre-nationalisation designs and incorporate the finest qualities of each into his standardised locomotives, thus procuring the greatest engineering feats from all of the pre-nationalisation railway companies. His first move towards producing new designs were the ‘Locomotive Exchange Trials’. Riddles initiated his proceedings by choosing a number of express type locomotives from each of the newly-formed Regions and using them on ‘foreign’ territory. For example, LMS locomotives were run over the Southern Region where there were no water troughs. These were thus paired with four-axled ex-War Department tenders with larger water tanks. These were given LMS lettering especially for the occasion. Similarly, ex-Southern Region types used elsewhere were paired with ex-LMS tenders with water scoops. This gave the design team some important information on how suitable certain locomotive classes were to certain stretches of line.

On completion of the Locomotive Exchange Trials, Riddles’ Chief Draftsmen went back to the drawing board and began to formulate the first of the then new ’standardised’ steam locomotives. Officially, these trials were intended to establish the best qualities of the four varying schools of thought of locomotive design so that they could be used in the new BR standard designs. However, the testing had little scientific rigour, and taking Riddles’ background into consideration and other political influences, it was almost predictable that LMS practice was largely followed by the new standard designs regardless, and it is therefore hardly surprising that nearly all of Riddles’ final products would closely resemble the designs pioneered by the LMS, particularly those locomotives which were designes of Stanier and Ivatt.

However, the trials served as a useful publicity stunt for BR to show the unity of the new British Railways. By 1950 the first express passenger locomotive design had been finalised at Derby and in the same year, the British Transport Commission placed an order with Crewe Works for the building of twenty-four of the type. What emerged from Crewe on 2nd January 1951 was a 4-6-2 Pacific locomotive looking bearing a significant resemblance to the Coronation class of locomotives designed by William Stanier, also previously with the LMS. The imposing engine, finished in a plain black scheme with no lining, was scheduled for a test run between Crewe and Carlisle on 11th January 1951, a dynamometer carriage being one of the consists of the train it was to haul. After the run, which proved to be a promising start for the class, the locomotive, numbered 70000, was repainted into the much more familiar lined BR Brunswick Green and delivered to Marylebone station on the penultimate day of January to be named. No. 70000 was appropriately called ‘Britannia’, after the female personification of the British Empire, and it marked a very promising step forward for BR.

To mark the Sixtieth Anniversary of the 1948 Locomotive Exchange Trials, in 2008 Hornby Railways released a Limited Edition Model of a 4-6-2 West Country Class Locomotive ‘Bude’ No 34006. This model, represents the classic pairing of a Southern Region Bulleid Pacific with a Stanier Tender. For the collectors out there, the Hornby R2685 West Country Class ‘Bude’ with Stanier Tender was only produced in a limited run of 2008 and each of the model trains came with a numbered Certificate of Authentication.
