System error E 74

Hello,

I got E 74

of course repairing is out of the question since it is almost like buying another one ... and it is possible that it wont fic the problem permenatly.

So there is a possibility that in next few months I will buy a new one hopefully. But my account is wasting valuable time because I got 1 year sub. and I spent almost 6 moths, so other 6 moths will be lost.

Is there any chance to just to shorten sub for 6 moths and for other 6 moths to get the code so I can use it later or to give it to my friend ma by ...

:)
