I am having trouble with a battery charging on a MacBook. It appears either it's not charging or is not holding a charge since I can only use the MacBook while it's plugged in. The light doesn't come on on the charger when it's plugged into the Mac. Is there any idea what could be going on? Unfortunately the nearest Apple Store is not that close so I'm hoping to be able to solve this without going to the Apple Store.

    check the pins in the magsafe, they are spring loaded and probably one of them is stuck.

    I often have this problem and found that I have to disconnect the power cord(between the Mac and powersupply) from the powersupply. I am not sure what the issue is, maybe loose connection, but it works.
