The batteries in all of them was dead, but also they all were "bloated". (i.e. they were suppused to be flat/slim but looked like they ate chips and chocolates for the lest year ;) )
Kidding aside, this made the laptop split open near the battery compartement and I'm pretty sure it could be a fire hazard.
So, check if you have any "deformation" of your laptop. Is so, remove the battery A.S.A.P.. Replace with an genuine one, not a "compatible/refurbished" from ebay.

Cheers!

Thanks Jerry.  Tried your suggestion, but no joy.  I presume that the battery is completely dead.

TheDead:
The OS would not interfere but you can try to charge when the laptop is OFF.
Also, if the laptop was plugged in all the time, this seems to accelerate the "death" of a batteries. Never did research on this though. :-S
