Yeah, the instructions tell you to watch the patterns carefully, and you have to input the pattern in. The pattern for power is just randomly generated, and you have to find out the right one. Also the sounds tell you if you activated it or not. When you activate it the lights on that system will turn on. If you can, can you send me some videos of it not working? my discord is Capn C4ke#9414, and my email is benjaminpizzolatto@gmail.com
