Nancy Drew 27: The Deadly Device Hints

How do I replace the missing piece?

  • 1 of 4: First, you need to know more about it. If you didn't already, open the lower drawer (above the missing emergency shut-off button) and click on the big empty hole.
  • 2 of 4: This will allow you to ask Ryan about replacing the missing piece. She in turn gives you a copy of a technical drawing of the piece.
  • 3 of 4: You can now take the plans up to Mason's office some night and use the program called "Component Designer" to re-create the piece.
  • 4 of 4: When you have the finished piece in hand, come back to the coil and place it in the machine. Voila!
