I didn't mention it in my original message, but the "X" on the battery icon
is black, not red. What ill does this bode, as opposed to the red "X"?

Also, as I did mention previously, the LED indicators on the bottom of the
battery do not light up at all. That would seem to me to be a pretty strong
indication of a dead battery.

Zoki said that Apple will not replace the battery as part of its warranty.
Can anyone else confirm this, before I call AppleCare?
