you said your laptop is 3 years old. if the battery is of the same age you're a lucky person. a battery seldom last that long when used daily (that's my personal experience).
as already mentioned before, the battery is gone and you have to replace it.

Why can't you just run it off of A/C power and not worry about the battery charging, until you get back home?

You might want to get it checked at a Sony Service Station in your area... they only can tell the exact problem.
As an alternate suggestion....
Look for an Internet Cafe... to be in touch with your people back home.

Battery life in laptops are seldom over two years. Your lucky that it's last that long.

It seems like you have to replace your battery.

you can remove the battery entirely, then just run on a/c

maybe your ac adapter has a loose connection?
