Nancy Drew: The Creature of Kapu Cave Hints
How do I fix the solar panel?
1 of 10: Don't worry -- you don't need to be an engineer. All you need to do is replace the missing parts.
2 of 10: Which you don't have, rats! Where can you go to get new ones?
3 of 10: You can't go back to Big Island Mike's. The only other spot on the map is --
4 of 10: -- the Hilihili Research Center. And that's more practical than you might think; remember the entry in Dr. Kim's notebook that says he's a nut for solar power? So get in the Jeep and give it a shot.
5 of 10: Okay, so now you're back at the camp with the photovoltaic cells. So which cell goes where?
6 of 10: This looks like a sudoku puzzle, but it's not. What you're after here is to get each vertical and horizontal line to add up to 30. When you get a line right, the little green light in the middle of the line will light up.
7 of 10: This is easier than you think. First solve the lines that have only one missing, and that will make the others easier. Here's the final solution:
8 of 10: Now that you have all the cells in place, you need to move the panel so it's in the actual sun. That means you have to raise it up above the trees of the jungle.
9 of 10: To do that, use the same thing you used to pull the jeep out of the ditch.
10 of 10: Click on the hook on the winch, then put it on the solar panel. When it's in place, push the red button on the winch. Ah, power!
