Silent Hill: Townfall Floppy Disk Puzzle and Locker 17
Repair disk 2 at the South Brae computer, load the three disks, print MANUAL.EML and use the barcode to reach Locker 17 and the Boltcutters.
Quick answer
Repair Floppy Disk (2 of 3) with Fix-A-Disk!, then load disks 1, 2 and 3 in order. Turn on the printer and print MANUAL.EML. The printed part number, 956, opens the nearby box containing Barcode (South Brae). Scan that barcode at CEG Employee Lockers for Locker 17’s PIN, 575, and collect the Boltcutters and Mechanical Part.

Get the house key and both disk cases
In the Clara Woods area, read the computer notes inside CEG Employee Lockers. The Lost and Found code is 772; its locker contains the South Brae House Key. At 5 South Brae, search the upstairs bedroom’s bedside drawer for the Disk Case Key.
Use it on the case beside the computer-room box for the Grouped Floppy Disks, and on the case in Atlas Computers’ side room for Fix-A-Disk! Return to the upstairs computer at 5 South Brae with both.
Repair first, then load the archive
The recorded solution uses the physical disk drive as well as the monitor. Finish each on-screen operation before swapping media.
- 1. Power on the computer and start Fix-A-Disk! from its software disk.
- 2. Begin the scan workflow, then replace the software disk with Floppy Disk (2 of 3). Choose Repair Volume and confirm.
- 3. Replace it with disk 1 and start the archive operation. Continue with disk 2, followed by disk 3 when requested.
- 4. Switch on the printer beside the monitor. Open MANUAL.EML and print the compressor document.
Use the printout, then the barcode
Take the printed clue and enter 956 on the box beside the computer. Collect Barcode (South Brae), return to CEG Employee Lockers and scan it. Enter the resulting PIN, 575, at Locker 17. Take both the Boltcutters and the Mechanical Part before leaving. The box combination and locker PIN belong to different locks.
If the sequence is not progressing
Check the last successful step instead of repeating every code. For a disk error, verify that you repaired disk 2 and then started the archive with disk 1. For Printer Offline, check the printer’s power before trying to print again. If you have the printout but no barcode, the next stop is the nearby box, not the locker building.
These checkpoints follow the shown sequence; they are not a fix for a confirmed software bug. If your prompts differ, record the exact message and game version before assuming that a missing interaction is a crash or corrupted save.
Evidence and version limits
The computer solution is checked against 100% Guides’ gameplay viewed September 22, 2026. PowerPyx’s September 21 walkthrough supplies the surrounding item route and corroborates the sequence. We have not tested every difficulty or later patch. Compare the printed document and scanner result in your own run if a number differs.
Common questions
Which disk needs repairing?
Disk 2 of 3. After repairing it, begin the archive with disk 1; the repair disk is not the first archive disk.
Can I use the codes without collecting the clues?
Follow the item and clue sequence above. Knowing the final number is not a substitute for having the required disk, printout or barcode interaction available.
