That would probably indicate a bad charger.

If you had a separate power supply you could test this. You can order an OEM replica from amazon for a pretty good price typically.

To test this, you could use a multimeter to see if your getting a charge from it. Just use the black contact on the outside of the metal and touch the inside of the charger plug with the red contact.
