Yes, the machine smakes booting sounds, so I'm convinced it's boot8ing,
but the screen remains dark. I think the bulb in the power switch is
burned out. I'm in Rhode Island. We have a second one that works fine,
even has the carrying case.

Totally agree, the Hyperion is I think a nifty, handsome little creation.
So, does your machine appear to boot up even though you have no image? What
about the on/off switch: Does it light up when you turn the machine on?
Where are you located? Will keep you posted as to my progress.

We have one with the same problem. The Hyperion
is a really nice little
machine.

I am looking for service info

who have worked on the machine.
Any leads would be most appreciated.
