Macbook pro 2010's battery is not charging.

Question

hello, so for a while now the battery status was showing 'repalce soon' message so i wasnt to surprised that last week the battery jsut wouldnt charge, the power source was plugged in but it said not charging still. so i bought a new battery, only just chaned it but it still isnt chatging. the charge is 80 % but not charging still i did the system power management reset or whatever that i found in another forum but it didtn work. the is not light on the magsafe adapter not amber nor green.
what could go wrong? i would think that the power adapter is working as the comuter recognises it as a power source but why isn;t it charging? could it be some sort of software fault?
please help i really need the computer to be  flexible not tied to a cable....
