I was actually googling around myself this morning for the same question. I did find this article which shows some success with getting node (almost?) working on the Omega:

Probably not the official answer that we are both looking for but may be something to try out...

Hi Boken Lin, I have posted the broken items back to the address in Guangdong today. I will send you a private message with the tracking number. I hope you will also consider reimbursing me for the shipping costs to send these faulty items back.
Hi @Boken-Lin, sorry for the delay. Even after trying two docks I could not get the Omega to switch on the LED, make any humming noises or anything else... In the mean time both my expansion dock and mini dock switches snapped off... I'm quite disappointed that I have not been able to play around at all with these devices, was really excited to get these before Christmas... I live in Singapore. Can I send the units I have back for an exchange please?
Hi @Boken-Lin , thanks for your message. Unfortunately the light on the Omega has never been on even when I tried the to switch it on before the switches broke off. This was the same on the mini and expansion dock... I did see another thread about some Omega's having the wrong firmware but not sure if I should try the same steps?
I hope you can help.
Hi,
I recently received the Onion Omega and a couple of docks which I had backed on kickstarter. I tried to first start the Onion on the Expansion dock and while the blue light occasionally appeared on the expansion dock the LED on the Omega never comes on. In addition there is no onion wifi detected on my macbook. I then tried switching on and off a couple of times and the switch broke off on the dock...
I then tried the Mini dock with the Omega and again no LED action on the device and again the power switch snapped off with very slight pressure...
So right now I have two broken docks and an Onion Omega that doesn't seem to power up.... I hope someone can help soon!
Best regards
Rick
Unfortunately tried my Onion first in the larger expansion dock and nothing from the LED on the Omega. Then the switch snapped off the dock. Then tried the Mini dock, again nothing from the Omega and then the switch snapped off that dock too...
Not a happy bunny right now...
