But the 'Genius' said that they can only do the SMC and PRAM resets and replace the battery with an Apple OEM battery, to know the next steps.

I told them that this is problem exists on both of the batteries that I own (new and OEM), so it has to be something else. So I went back to Apple Genius Bar about the X on Battery Icon and they told me that my battery was 'probably the issue' and wanted to sell me a new battery. I've read other links where these steps (or a version of) DID work for some people.

Here are the steps for resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) that controls the way the MBA charges and acts under other situations.

I researched how to remove the X on battery icon and saw that it could be resolved with resetting some things on the MBA. That's when I noticed the 'X on Battery Icon' and the information listed in 'About This Mac' showed that there was no battery 'installed' and 'not charging'. So I placed the charger on it and completed the set up of the MBA. When I got home and opened the MBA it didn't 'wake up', which I thought was odd because it was working on and off the AC charger while at the Apple Store. He went ahead and loaded 10.6.8 on the MBA (while on AC charger) which resolved my 'flashing question mark on folder' after power up problem. The Genius Rep and I both brushed it off as my replacement battery from Amazon was not OEM, so perhaps the battery was being flagged as a non-OEM battery. There was a read box over the battery during their diagnostic test (on the display of my MBA).

While at the Apple Genius Bar getting new firmware and software loaded (no CD Drive and Install CD to do this at home), they ran a 'diagnostic test' via there net software and the battery was not detected. So I went to the Apple Genius Bat (trip 1) for help with loading firmware and software. My next focus was to resolve a 'flashing question mark on folder when it powered up'. Shortly after seeing that the new battery allowed the MBA to power up without the AC charger, I put it on a charger, but did not pay close attention to the charging (or lack thereof) of the MBA or that there was an 'X on battery icon'. I was able to see that it was a working computer. Here is what I know so far that may be of value to you.:ДЄ new battery fixed the problem temporarilyДЄ new battery from Amazon for ($70 incl tools) had enough juice to allow me to power up the MBA A1370 without the AC charger. However, after a month of research, purchasing of a battery and two trips to the Apple Genius Bar (they are no geniuses BTW), I think I gambled and LOST!!! But I did my research online and on Apple's support/community website to understand how extensive the issue WOULD be to determined if I should gamble and make this purchase with an inexpensive fix. I bought it knowing that it would 'not charge' and would 'not power on'. I've spent a month on this little Christmas Vacation Project, to get it to work for my son who is in elementary school and needs of a computer for class activity where the chrome book comes up short. Another descriptions with the same symptom/issue is 'X on battery icon'. I have an Apple MacBook Air A1370 with the same symptoms.
