Solved

Hello,
my battery icon has a red cross in front, even with the charger it's still showing the red cross. When I hover the mouse over the icon, it tells me to consider replacing the battery. I have a Toshiba Satellite L650 that I bought a year and a half ago. If anyone can tell me what this red cross means and how I can remove it, thank you in advance.
Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 23.0.1271.97

The battery icon refers to a tool for measuring the battery charge level. Since the battery is defective, the detected charge level is incorrect - even undetected - and the tool indicates this.

Changing the battery is recommended... unless you continue to run on AC power, like a desktop PC. In this case, simply ignore the battery indicator.

Because manuals don't tell you everything... but they don't tell you nothing either, right!

Thank you very much, problem solved anyway since when I opened my computer this morning that red cross disappeared by itself and my battery is working normally, I don't know why? :)
