Generally, when a laptop battery won't charge, it's because of one of the following reasons:
- The battery won't hold a charge
- The charger won't charge the battery
Either one could be the culprit -- both are common issues with laptops, and unless you have a spare battery or charger it's often hard to troubleshoot without replacing one or the other. Generally, replacement chargers are cheaper than replacement batteries, so unless you have a reason to think it's the battery, replacing the charger is a good place to start.
