If the battery icon on the upper menu next to the
clock shows a battery with an red x it means the
computer doesn't know it is there. Same if you remove
the battery. If this is the case the problem is in the
power/ IO board(it will need to be repaired or
replaced.) 

I had the same problem took it to DT&T $125.00 to fix.
One day service Your choice if it is worth it.
