well firstly "just bought a new chopper from the market".........
not a good start, i would never buy a "chopper" from any market as 99% are cheap chinese knock ups, ok they fly great for 2 minutes and thats it (speaking from experience)(did i say i would never buy from a market earilier)(Doh!)
you need a battery checker very cheap to buy (even the chinese ones work lol)
unless you have a proper lipo charger ?
have you got a amp meter if so check the output of the battery charger you got with the heli, if thats ok it could be a dud battery
hope this helps

in my defence i only bought from the market because my bro got one and it works fine.
any way, i was thinking i might take it too my local model shop and get them to look at it, i dont want to end up spending more money repairing then what i payed for it.
