power issue on macbook pro

good morning,

I have a MacBook Pro 13" laptop, latrst generation, purchased new 12/12. All has been well until last night when I noted that the sleep light was off and there was only a weak flutter on the mag safe power connector. I tried to power up the laptop from the power button with negative results.  I then unplugged the power adapter both from the computer and from the power source. The power strip is fully functional and supplying power to a lamp and my IPhone charger.  I tried moving to another live outlet, re-connected and got the same weak flutter on the magsafe charging head. I then tried to see hoe much power i had on my battery. Zero, zip, nada...the battery is COMPLETELY drained. I cannot even get the computer to power up to do a SMC reset.

The computer is normally left connected to the power adapter on my desk, and will normally show 99-100% charge when I wake it. I have no idea what happened, if anything, or how to restart.  Any suggestions?
