Google is now part of the English language and less than 0.27 second after typing 'red ring death fix' I get over 770,000 results. The first two of which, as tends to be the way with these things, looking exactly like what you want.

Your XBox is repairable using the application of a 12-pound lump hammer.

A wrecking ball might be a bit overkill...

...but one of my personal mottoes is 'there is no kill like overkill! MUHUAHAHAHAAA!!!!!'

So you're posting on a web site but you can't access search engines. Care to elaborate a little?? Do you think it an unreasonable assumption on my part that you should, seeing as you posted on an internet forum?

Click this link: Popular search engine, easily the most used one to date - to such an extent that the name of said search engine has entered the English language as a verb.

As AV noted, if you can post on an online forum, why are you having such trouble with the concept of a search engine?

It is really easy - you enter the thing you are looking for into the appropriate field, and either click 'Search' or 'I'm Feeling Lucky' and then bang! If you selected 'Search' then you have an entire series of links to numerous websites where you can find help, and if you selected 'I'm Feeling Lucky' it takes you directly to its first result.

It's magical!

You do know it's against the rules to advertise your own services on here?

Also, given that the OP struggled with the concept of using a search engine do you seriously think he has the mental ability to work out how to use that new and highly complex e-mail thing?

You seem to have missed this bit on that very page:

Advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes and other commercial solicitations are inappropriate on the Forums.



It makes sense when you consider that this site is paid for by advertising. Why should you get it for free?
