When you charged it for 60 minutes was the laptop turned on as well or did you charge the battery with the laptop turned off?
Charging a low battery with the laptop turned on wouldn't have put too much of a charge into the battery as the charger would be running the laptop at the same time so most of the power would go to the laptop and not the battery.
Uninstall the battery drivers in Device Manager and then restart the laptop and let Windows reinstall them. This is just in case they were corrupted for some reason.
Press the Win key + x key (both together) and click on the Device Manager link
When in Device manager go to the Battery category, ''right click'' on the ''Microsoft ACPI''-Compliant ''Control Method Battery'' entry and click on Uninstall and follow the prompts, then restart the laptop in the normal manner.
Check if it starts to charge the battery
