I just read a walkthrough and it said that I was supposed to pick up a magnet from one of the boxes at the university. There are boxes to the left and right of the monitor and I have clicked on every box but no magnet. I watched a video walkthrough too and I have clicked where they clicked and still no magnet. Is there one certain area? Thanks.

Let's wait and see if someone else who has played this can help.

A French walkthrough I read said to take the magnet from the boxes on the left, but I can't find anything more specific than that.

The only other thing I can think of is that maybe the game doesn't allow you to pick up a magnet until you have done certain things up to this point and maybe there is something that you might have missed?
