Mass Effect

In mass effect how do I investigate the beacon (just about started the game) I've disarmed the bombs, but no matter how close I get, I can't investigate the beacon. Nothing happens at all, no matter how many times I slam the A button or walk around the thing whilst pressing A?

Are the other people in your squad around you?

Maybe I haven't disarmed all the bombs? Is the time ticking supposed to stop after disarming them? I disarm 3 always, can't ever find anymore.

Theres the first one where you get off the train, then I think there's another 3

Never had a problem where the beacon didnt arm

That's what I'm starting to think. I know of the first 3, first one is right next to the train, second one is after the bridge and 3rd is to the left of the second from the bridge POV, but fourth?

at the very end of the platform, instead of going down to the beacon, head to the end should be there i think

Ye there is one at the end where all the enemies stand

I'm surprised you've not died if you can't find the 4th bomb.

The 360 version of the first Mass Effect is very poor (framerate being the main problem) and does have some bugs, try reloading your game from a save that should sort it out.

I had a door that wouldn't open until I reloaded and an NPC that didn't appear until I loaded up a save from seconds before.

Edit: Funnily enough on Alan Wake I had a door that wouldn't open, loaded an autosave went up to the door and it just happened to open that time. Strange how bugs like that get past quality control.
