The A1181 MacBooks don't have a DC in board as such unlike the A1342 MacBook model. The connector is soldered to the main logic board.

Did you try cleaning the connects and check to see if a second power adapter with Isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs (Q-Tip)?

I suspect you have a burnt FET which is a common issue. Static discharge (ESD) often kills them.

The A1181 and the A1342 have the same DC in socket soldered to the logic board and use the same black connector type.

lemerise - the Unibody models have a plug in Mag-Safe connector unlike the older Poly-Carb units. Checkout this pic DC-in board connector

Samuillah - Sorry to say you can't replace the Mag-Save connector on this model as its part of the logic board. You will need to replace the logic board if the connector is damaged.
