Q: won't turn on unless the charger is plugged in

I was closing my MacBook the other night, but instead of going to sleep it just shut down (front light turned off.) I thought that the battery was dead, so I charged it over night. The next morning, with a fully charged battery, it still wouldn't start unless the power adapter was plugged in. When I push the power button, the light turns on for a second, but then it just shuts down again. The battery says that it is fully charged. I reset the SMC, but it didn't do anything. I've only had the computer for three days. What's up???
