Bad battery

Use Applications->Utilities->System Profiler:Power to check the number of cycles and status of the battery. If the cycles are high (over 300) the battery is probably shot. A battery can be destroyed in fewer than 10 cycles if run completely dead each time.

If the the light is out your problem could be the charger.

This sounds like a MagSafe power adapter problem. If the light does not come on at all it has probably failed and needs to be replaced.
