Let it cool for 5-6 hours.

Then try the overheating process again.

Got to stop getting mouse happy ...

Cgs i have never done e74/rrod fix, yeah the info is easily obtained, but any chance of a guide for those who dont look?

I meant what error code after the 1 red light.

He has 2 red lights now. So all is not as obvious.

No need to do a tut. Theres plenty on google. I would only be copy and pasting like a lot of people do to make good tutorials.
