All I can say is maybe find a friend who has a cable, and see if theirs works. Otherwise, if its the actual power port, you need to take it to get it looked at. I hope its still under warranty.

Okay, my friend had this exact problem last week. Basically, her battery was not charging when she was plugged in, but when it was plugged in it would run just fine. When unplugged from the wall, the battery would be empty and would thus cause the computer to shut off. We only figured out this is what was happening when we went to the Apple store to figure out why her computer would shut off whenever she unplugged it...

I would recommend finding someone else with the same battery as you to check if this is your problem. Put in their battery, start the computer and then unplug it from the external power. If your computer stays on just fine, then it's a problem with your battery not charging.

Another thing that we didn't notice before she went into the Apple store was that the light on the MagSafe adapter didn't go amber ever meaning stuff wasn't charging.

Basically, they sent it to get repaired, and she should get it back in a couple more days. If you think this is your problem, just take it to the Apple Store and explain the problem, they're really good about fixing it.
