Q: Mid 2010 Macbook "Battery Not Charging"

Model Name: MacBook

Model Identifier: MacBook7,1

Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo

Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz

As of very recently my mid 2010 macbook has stopped charging. When I plug the magsafe charger into my macbook the light does not turn on but the laptop recognises it and says "Battery Not Charging". If I leave it for a little while (Maybe 20-30 minutes or so) the green light on the magsafe charger comes on but doesn't change the status of the battery. Here are the details of my battery.

Furthermore, when I unplug my macbook battery and try to boot up the laptop just from the power of the magsafe charger, it does not boot up. I have tried several chargers and none have worked on my macbook. I cleaned out the charging port on my macbook and somehow it started charging again for a day or two and now has gone back to the way it was not charging.
