My Macbook will only charge when asleep. When i open the lid the light turns to green and the battery symbol changes to the 'plug' icon but runs on battery power only. The battery was replaced about 3 months ago. I have tried resetting the SMC.

Any ideas please?

Could be a bad magsafe adapter. I just had a battery replacement and a magsafe adapter sent to me in one shot...
