The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
What can I do with this equipment?
1 of 10: The main thing you can do is work with plugs.
2 of 10: Notice that there are two green lights on the equipment near the "DANGER High Voltage" sign.
3 of 10: Also notice the three plug-ins near that sign.
4 of 10: One of them has a cable already plugged into it.
5 of 10: Try picking up the other end of the cable and sticking it in one of the other two sockets.
6 of 10: Since the socket on the right has a green light on it, try plugging into that.
7 of 10: Then look to the left to see why that isn't going to work.
8 of 10: You can't repair the broken cable, so try something else.
9 of 10: What if you pulled the plug out of the bottom socket and put it in the other top socket?
10 of 10: Once the cable is plugged into both top sockets, power will be restored.
