In Zoe’s House, the power meter wedged beneath the stairs is the first major obstacle in Silent Hill: Townfall. The living-room desktop remains off until you activate it, leaving the email about the kitchen lockbox inaccessible. Solving the panel only requires the correct card and button sequence.
Quick answer: Insert the Prepaid Power Card from Peters Newsagents into the under-stairs panel, press Button A until the screen reads Card Credit, press Button B, then flip the main switch.
Items you need before the meter will accept anything
The crawlspace is pitch black, so the flashlight comes first. Everything except the card itself is inside Zoe’s House.
| Item | Where it is |
|---|---|
| Flashlight (No Batteries) | Check the kitchen drawer next to the washing machine, close to the organ transport container |
| AA Batteries | Search the bedside cabinet drawer in the second upstairs room on the left |
| Power Card Credit Guide | Inside the cardboard box in the storage area beneath the stairs |
| Organ Transplant Card | Upstairs bathroom floor, next to the shower |
| Prepaid Power Card | Cash register in Peters Newsagents |
Combine the AA Batteries with the flashlight through the inventory to make a usable light. Turn it on, crouch, and crawl through the short passage beside the staircase. Shine the beam at the cardboard box and collect the credit guide, which explains the reader’s credit procedure. The panel is fixed to the wall in that cupboard.
Grab the Organ Transplant Card from the bathroom floor while you are upstairs. You will need the number printed on it as soon as the power is back.
Where to find the Prepaid Power Card in Peters Newsagents
The card is a £5 Electricard sitting in the shop register at Peters Newsagents, marked 2 on the Coastal District — South map, a short walk from Zoe’s front door. The shop’s front entrance is locked from the street, so the only way in is round the back.
From inside the shop, open the front door before departing. You can then return directly to the street without passing the creature again.
What each control on the power panel does
Each of the four inputs has its own function. Memorizing them prevents a scramble once the panel occupies the screen and nearby movement demands attention.
| Control | Position | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Card slot | Bottom edge | Takes the Prepaid Power Card |
| Button A | Below the meter display | Cycles the display to Card Credit |
| Button B | Beside Button A | Applies the card’s credit |
| Main switch | Lower right, red | Turns house power on |
How to restore power at the electrical box
How to confirm the power is back on
You can confirm success in two ways: the meter now displays a balance instead of a blank or zero value, and the house lights react. For the final confirmation, use the desktop in the living-room corner, which remains completely inactive without power. Turn it on, refresh the inbox, and Zoe’s emails should display normally.
The inbox holds three messages, with the damaged one in the middle containing the essential clue: build the combination using the matching ET code’s first three digits and last three digits. Open the messages above and below it as well, since each document counts toward the collection achievements.
Human Organ in Transit box combination (956 and 133)
The Organ Transplant Card from the bathroom floor contains plenty of letters and figures, but the relevant detail is its ET number: 956234692133. Take 956 from the beginning and 133 from the end.
- Left dial: 956
- Right dial: 133
Go to the kitchen, interact with the Human Organ in Transit cooler and set both three-digit locks. The box opens and hands you Zoe’s Lanyard Badge, which is the access ID for the Shorefront Family Clinic. From there, use the badge on the panel to the left of the clinic entrance to get inside and carry on.
