HI there,
When a laptop/netbook will run on the A/C Adapter but the battery won't charge, there are only 3 things that can be wrong.
1. The battery is dead (replace the battery)
2. The A/C adapter's charging system is not functioning but the power function is. (replace the A/C adapter)
3. The DC power jack which is where the adapter plugs into the laptop is partially failing, providing power but no charging. (replace the DC jack)
Try to find a friend with an adapter/charger that fits your netbook and see what happens with that first. If that doesn't work, try to find someone whose Netbook takes the same battery and test if yours will charge in their laptop. After that, if your battery's not dead and you have a working charger, it's the DC jack and that costs about 80 to 100 to be replaced. They have to take apart the netbook, remove the jack and solder on a new one.
Good Luck
Marcus
