Try this: with the laptop plugged into the charger, remove the battery, then put it back in. Don’t know why this works on some laptops but it does. The battery indicator in the lower right corner of your laptop screen should show that it is charging.

I have done that with my Toshiba.
If I pull the DC power plug, the computer will still run for maybe 5-10 seconds before going dead.
If I plug the DC cord back in before it shuts down, the charge light will come on for a short time (maybe 5-10 seconds), then go back out.
I never ran the computer, now over four years old, on battery, so the battery has probably cooked itself.
I think it is best to cycle the battery from time to time, by periodically operating on battery for a normal charged period.
What I do is shut down, unplug, and remove the battery. Complete power down. I usually wait a half-minute or so, then replace the battery, plug up the charger, and often it starts charging.
