I have a MacBook Pro and the batter icon has an "X" in it.  I attempted resetting the SMC but it's still there. Not sure if the SMC didn't work or I have another problem.  Help?

You can try the SMC again.

Follow directions for a battery you should not remove yourself
You can also try a NVRAM/PRAM reset (at the bottom of the same page in the above link
Also hold the OPTION key and click on the Apple logo in the menu bar and click on system information, in the left column select power. Under the battery info see if it is charging (with the power adapter  plugged in) as well as the health info (condition should be normal), and battery installrd (should be YES)
If other than these are different you may want to take it in to a Genius bar for a full diagnosis they will do that for dree.
Hope this helps
