Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
How can I get it going again?
1 of 8: Looking around, you should quickly spot another power generator device that doesn't have an energy orb powering it.
2 of 8: However, it's behind some indestructible windows.
3 of 8: But notice the computer console and monitor that you can see to the right of the generator.
4 of 8: It doesn't look like they're behind any glass, does it?
5 of 8: Use the gravity gun's secondary fire mode to pull both pieces of equipment out of the way, revealing an open doorway into the generator's room.
6 of 8: Now you need to do something that's very similar to how you dealt with the energy bridge generator that was behind a shield in the previous chapter section.
7 of 8: Throw orbs through the open doorway until one bounces into the generator.
8 of 8: Specifically, throw them so they'll hit the wall on the right that's just past the doorway and then bounce into the generator's room.
