There are multiple possibilities here. The AC adapter, the battery, or the laptop itself could be at fault. I would call Lenovo and have them walk you through some troubleshooting. They can supply you with a new part if it's under warranty or if it's the laptop itself you can send it in for repair. Contact information for Lenovo can be found here:
