Inspiron 1525 not charging?

I've noticed that the blue battery light on the front of my Inspiron 1525 does not always light up when it is plugged into the main outlet.  I'm wondering if this is normal or not? or maybe does it indicate that the battery is already fully charged.

 

I couldn't find any info online on this subject.

 

Thank you!

    If your battery is fully charged, the light is off. If it is almost fully charged (can't remember the exact %), the light will blink every few seconds. If the battery is charging (again, can't remember the exact %), the light will be on (until it reaches almost full charge).

    I have a Dell C600 and the battery does not charge is this the same as the 1525? Been trying to download drivers and this is a hoby laptop.

    On the C600, if your power adapter is functioning but the battery is not charging, then you probably need a new battery.
