    Is the computer working when plugged into a wall?

    i reckon it's your battery that's given up,so most likely you should get a replacement.

    I have two batteries for the laptop and both of them are not getting charged.

    I don't think it is the battery but more todo with the laptop

    could be the charger or the motherboard , try getting a loan of another charger to rule that out first.

    Open Power Manager and see what it says about the health of the batteries - compare 'design capacity' to 'full charge capacity'.

    You may need to do a battery gauge reset.
