MBP not charging

Hi,

I'm suspecting either a faulty battery or charger dock, maybe someone can confirm this before I throw money at it and not fix it...

My MBP 17" i5 doesn't charge any more. It operates as expected, runs off mains when its plugged in and holds the charge, currently at 70% but it will not charge more.

The charger is plugged in, and the light on the connector is on, just, its really dim.

Any ideas? I've changed the charger and have the same issue.

I am 2 years into a 3 year Apple care program, would this be a warranty issue or am I likely to have to shell out for this?

Thanks,

</ben>

Sounds like it could be a warranty issue. But before visiting/contacting Apple...try an SMC reset:
