I've actually had this happen to me twice where I dropped the computer like off the side of my bed or couch while the charger was plugged into it...it stopped taking a charge....ended up being the port that the charger fits into was broken inside the laptop...so that may be it

This might be a stupid question, but how do you know the charger still works? Did you try it with another computer? Only reason I ask sometimes ppl think the charger still works because the LED light is still on

You gotta resolder the connections inside more than likely. What is the model of your laptop?

good idea, or try a different charger.
back to the rice...maybe you didn't use enough.
