Hotel Dusk: Room 215 Hints
How do I turn on the computer?
1 of 7: Nothing happens when you try to turn on the computer. Explore the area around the computer to see if you can figure out why.
2 of 7: Rotate the camera all the way to the right and look at the power cord.
3 of 7: It's not making enough contact, so it won't conduct electricity. You'll have to find a way to use the materials in this room to make the plug conduct electricity.
4 of 7: Examine the shelves carefully. There's a book that talks about conducting electricity.
5 of 7: The red "Life Trivia" book in the middle of the bookshelf describes how to use pencil lead to conduct electricity. Can you find a way to sharpen your pencil and get lead?
6 of 7: There is a file in this room; you can sharpen your pencil with it.
7 of 7: Use your pencil on the file, and drag the pencil back and forth to get pencil lead. (You can only do this after you've read "Life Trivia" and examined the power cord.) Then use the lead on the electrical plug to turn on the computer.
