Battery not being recognised

Hiya
I have a Sony VAIO VGN-A117S notebook. Now I don't know how it has occured but all of a sudden Windows is not recognising the battery (saying there is no battery present, when there is one),
I have to have the laptop plugged in for it to work. I have took out the battery and inspected it and there doesn't seem to be a problem with it.
When I take out the battery when it is not plugged in, the notebook turns off.
What should I do, because I admit I'm not a notebook expert ...

This can happen, but it's not usual.

So what shall I do now?
Buy a new battery if it's the battery?
If it's the battery bay, what should I do?
