[P1] Battery problem

[B G]

You should take it in to be checked, that red x also
shows up when the battery is good but the charging
circuit is bad, if you have access to a known good
battery put that in and see if the x is still there.
This happened to me once and it was not the battery
but the charging circuit in the laptop.
