    if this is the case 2 option..
    -- Your notebook's battery charging circuit on main board malfunctions.(hope not)
    -- Your battery is kaput...needs to be replaced.this is easiest problem...
    Take your notebook to a electronic shop that you will buy battery and before testing Battery with your charger do not buy it ..you must verify that charging circuit is OK..

I had the same issue a few weeks back. I tried using an older magsafe charger because I hoped the battery wasn't the problem. I had the same issue with the older magsafe charger, but it would actually charge sometimes.

I replaced the magsafe with a brand new one and the problem was fixed. I hate to say buy a new charger and then it not work, but I wanted to share how I fixed the issue without having to buy or replace my battery.

My macbook pro won't charge, why is the charger not working

make sure that the connection between the charger and macbook is clean.

If the charger lights up green and doesn't change to orange, then it may not be connecting. If it stays green, the battery might be dead or improperly inserted. It may need a different sized cord -- check for proper wattage.

Macbook pro usb short circuit

Take the phone, computer, and cable to the Genius Bar in your closest Apple Store and ask them to look at it. This is hard to diagnose through text; they will be much better equipped to help you.
