battery indicator shows crossed battery?

Is the battery dead or is it some sort of hardware failure?

It could be the battery is loose. Have you tried removing and then reinstalling the battery? BTW, don't do this when the machine is running on battery. Do it when it is shut down, or running on the power adapter.
