Tom, not to sound ignorant or anything, but aren't the little lights
supposed to come on when it's charging, because mine certainly aren't.
Even on my first attempt immediately after getting the battery, which
resulted in OS X showing 100 % charge well before any actual charge,
the lights were on. On the second try, which was after I believed OS X
and tried to use the thing, I got three lights and 66% charge, before I
got brilliant and decided to reset the thing using the "Battery Reset
Utility" in OS 9. Nothing has happened since.
So, did I break my $140 battery, is it the battery at fault, or is it
just not wanting to do anything because the planets aren't aligned
properly?
Any help would be appreciated before I throw the Lombard through a
second-story window or two in frustration.

Shut it off and charge the batteries. My new battery from OWC had to

Before I forget, I also reset the PMU and the NVRAM, as well, with no
results showing. The battery lights should be on, but they aren't.
