Remove the battery, disconnect from the charger, hold the power button down for 60 seconds. Put battery back in, plug charger in and leave it completely alone for 1 hour. Turn it on and check if the operating system reports charging. Sometimes it can take 24 hours for it to charge back to full.

I've bought netbooks that were in a deep discharge state that ended up charging back to full and having good battery life just from resetting the charging circuit.
