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 -- so it's up to you which one you want to try replacing. 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.
