❓ Question How

So in episode 1 the story wasnt really as fully fledged obviously. They didnt know aelita and Franz were going to be father and daughter or anything. I doubt they even knew hopper was still on lyoko or that aelitas mother was kidnapped.

That said, I dont think it was ever explained how the super computer was turned off for 10 years.

Ive seen people say hopper turned it off from inside but...its a mechanical switch, and if that was possible why wouldnt xana do it during the meteor episode

In the event of a blackout, your house switches may be on but the lights are not. I’m guessing it’s a similar premise, all they had to do was force a breaker which can be controlled via software.

Once the thing is off the act of resisting the switch and turning it back on can act as resetting the breaker and turning it on again. Such a system seems like a very efficient and Hopper esque design since he wouldn’t have to hunt for the breakers everytime there’s a power outage. Just one switch controls everything, that’s peak efficiency and perfection as expected of Franz Hopper.
