Mass Effect Hints
How can I reboot the VI?
1 of 7: Start by trying to use the interactive power junction in the room where you killed the rachni workers.
2 of 7: It won't work, so move on to the west.
3 of 7: After raiding a technician kit, enter the large, circular Mira Core area.
4 of 7: Run around to where you can enter the central core section.
5 of 7: Use the panel in there to move down to where you can access the memory core.
6 of 7: Doing so will bring up the option to spend 100 omni-gel or play a Hanoi Minigame.
7 of 7: I'd advise you to do the minigame, since it really isn't very hard once you understand how the pieces can be moved. (Also, an exact step-by-step solution is possible -- see the above minigame info.)
