Unless you have other symptoms - such as a failure to charge or an error message relating to an AC adapter that isn't recognized, it's more likely the battery is near the end of its life. Lithium ion batteries run about 300-500 charge cycles or 18-24 months before they need to be replaced, so it wouldn't be unusual.
If it is the mainboard, the part will run about $350 plus labor to replace.
