Re: Lombard Battery

You might be able to get some use back to the battery by cycle charging it. I would try cycle charging at least a dozen times in succession. If that doesn't help, I'd say it's time for a new one. Sionnach --- Caleb Cupples <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I just got my new Lombard 400 in,

Lombard Battery

Hi, I just got my new Lombard 400 in, and the battery is completely dead. I left the thing plugged in for about 2 1/2 hours while I was at my band concert, and there was no change from the battery. It's still at 0% charge, according to OS X. Is there any way to make this thing work? My only o
