Use these tools in this order to hack a borg:
#[[File:Id_regular.png]] ID Card, [[File:Emag.png]] [[Emag]] or just ask the Cyborg to unlock its panel
#[[File:Crowbar.png]] Crowbar the panel open
#[[File:Emag.png]] Optional: [[Emag]] the cyborg and skip to "Afterwards" (does not work if its AI is [[Guide_to_malfunction|malfunctional]])
#[[File:Hud-hands.gif]] Remove the power cell by clicking the borg with an empty hand
#[[File:Screwdriver_tool.png]] Screwdriver to expose wires
#[[File:Wirecutters.png]] Wirecutters or [[File:Multitool.png]] Multitool to manipulate wires

Afterwards:
#[[File:Screwdriver_tool.png]] Screwdriver to cover wires
#[[File:Power_cell.png]] Replace the power cell
#[[File:Crowbar.png]] Crowbar the panel shut
#[[File:Id_regular.png]] Lock the panel with an ID Card. Cyborgs cannot lock their own panel.

Borgs have seven wires; five working ones and two duds:

!Law sync module
|Borg laws get updated when their master AI's laws do. Only works when AI link/slaving is active.||Stops the borg from receiving law updates from its AI.||Re-enables LawSync.||Synchronizes laws with the borg's AI. ''Borg gently chimes.''
|-
!Intelligence link
|Slaves the borg to an AI, forcing it to obey its orders. Needed for LawSync.||Unslaves the borg from its current AI and disables LawSync.||Nothing. You have to pulse the wire to slave a borg.||Allows you to pick an AI for the borg to be slaved to.

!Camera light
|Toggles the borg's camera.||Toggles the camera status and kicks out anyone using it.||Same as cutting.||Same as cutting. ''Borg's camera lense focuses loudly.''

!Lockdown indicator
|Locks down the borg. Can also be done with a robotics console.||Enables lockdown.||Disables lockdown.||Toggles lockdown status.

!Reset module hardware
|Resets the borg's module so it can pick another one.||Resets the Cyborg's module and prevents it from selecting a new one.||Allows the borg to pick a new module.||Nothing. ''Borg's module servos twitch.''

An emagged cyborg will have no LawSync or AI link and cannot be reset: it must be deconstructed (or blown) and rebuilt.

Remember, cyborgs are very expensive! Do not destroy them unless the cyborg is completely out of control, and resetting the AI and LawSync status doesn't work.

It's also a dick move to blow a non rogue borg. Think of it as chopping someone's arms and legs off; you'll get bwoink'd unless you did it for a good reason.
