No charging as in exactly what?  The battery will not hold a charge?  No charge indicator is seen?

If the battery is not holding a charge replace it.  Then, do NOT leave the new one continuously on the charger.  That kills batteries.  Charge it only when needed.

If no indicator then the charger/power cord may be bad or the motherboard might be bad.  Either way a technician should look at it.  You will not be able to make a determination if it's an internal failure.
