Hi there, the exact same problem, also change the DC board,and nothing....i try a replacment charger from "Macally" brand and nothing,I borrow a charger from a friend(he got the same Mac as I do) and...bingo. back on track. Also recover the sound from the speakers that were dead from 6 monthes or so(new DC board working).

I guess the old DC board were going down and were taking the charger with it, and that you need to get an original charger to test it.

I think it all comes from the overheating that hapens in this area so i am buying a spetial laptop holder with fans on it,good luck.

thanks for the reply, i'm still hangin in here with my PowerBook hoping someday that it will work again. just an update, i have replaced the logic board with a refurb that is guaranteed to work. so right now the PowerBook has a new dc board, a working logic board but still not a thing happened when you press power. when the charger is plugged, the light around it turns yellow-green but no power on the logic board nor charging the battery. I will try what you have suggested and get the other charger from the office first thing tomorrow morning. again thanks and i appreciate it a lot. regards
