What does the power indicator on the menu bar (or use System
Preferences if you don't use the indicator) say? On the icebooks,
the ring is red/orange when the battery is charging, then turns
green when it's done... it might be that the green light is out is all.

Then again, in your shoes, I'd be looking for another power adapter
anyway. It never hurts to have two & if the original is dying, it's best
to have the replacement in hand when it happens.
