macbook only works with charger plugged in

Not been on my macbook for a week however I realised I left it on sleep for the week... When I have gone to put it on charge it won't charge up and only stays on if the adapter is plugged in?! I really need to get this sorted as I use it a lot for work and on the go

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Have you tried resetting the System Management Controller? That is a good first step for power related issues such as this.


What is the status of your battery? Look in the System Profiler (Apple menu > About this Mac > More Info) under Power. If it says the battery needs replacing, you should do so.


Best of luck.
