    i know most peps know this, but for those who have redring of death, and don't know the cure, here it is. keep in mind that this isn't a permanent cure. it might work for a few days after this but eventually you'll get rrod again. ok. first take out everything on your xbox except for the power cord. and i mean everything. harddrive, controlers, the white yellow red wire thing, everything but the power. now wrap your xbox in two blankets, then turn it on, and leave it on for about 15 minutes. after that time turn it off, take it out of the blankets, and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. then put everything back in and you can play xbox for a little while. i have personally done this, and i assure you it works. but in case it dosn't, let it cook for about 5 minutes more. this can be done over and over again, but eventually it will not help anymore, and you have to send your xbox to microsft

    He wasn't rude, he was telling you that you need to use the search button before you make a thread. He didn't call you a nub or flame you, he just gave you truthful, honest advice.

    Also, the smothering-until-xbox-has-melted technique is kinda old. But most people use paper towels.

    So far everyone I've known uses towels and call it the "Towel Trick". I bet Microsoft is sad about how when you search "Towel" on google, the 7th thing to pop up is an article about the towel trick lol.
