    Hi, Welcome to Notebook Review!

    Sounds like you need a new battery. Buying a new one would make the red X go away.

    How long does the battery last with a full charge? Windows 7 has a known issue for a misleading error message saying that the battery needs replacing.(Happened with my laptop, no battery problems.) Try running HWMonitor to see how much a charge it can hold would be a start.
