Could you please specify which checks and actions you have done already?
Your MacBook came with both a cable to connect to the power adapter and a plug. Could you try both to see whether it works? You might just have a broken charger.
Please find instructions for that here: Reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
If the battery is nonremovable
- Shut down the Mac.
- Plug in the MagSafe or USB-C power adapter to a power source and to your Mac.
- Using the built-in keyboard, press Shift-Control-Option on the left side of the keyboard, then press the power button at the same time.
- Release all keys, then press the power button again to turn on your Mac
If the battery is removable
- Shut down the Mac.
- Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the Mac.
- Remove the battery. (Learn about removing the battery in MacBook and MacBook Pro computers.)
- Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
- Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
- Press the power button to turn on the Mac.
Thank you in advance for posting the results!
