Our Acer Aspire One 725-0845 will not charge. It is plugged in with the power cord, but the charging light does not blink and the amount of power left in the battery is dropping. I'm thinking it is:

1. a faulty power cord (Model R33030) or

2. a faulty battery

but do not know how to determine for sure, or if there may be a different issue.

I have tried plugging into different wall sockets and playing around with the plug attachment to the computer, to no avail. Thanks.

Take the power supply and battery to a  local computer shop and and ask them to test or get a volt/multimeter. With power supply plugged in, touch black probe to the metal outside of the plug (that plugs into the computer) and the red probe to the pin in the center od the plug with the meter set to dc voltage.
