Mike-

It very well could be the DC-in board this what i would do.

1st click on the apple and go into "about this mac" then hit "more info" and then in the left hand side bar click on "power" and look at the cycle count and also the conduction. then go head and pop in the install disk and hold D upon start up and see if the computer gives you any errors but this could also be an OS problem, so if you have a firewire cable, put your working MacB into target mode and connect the two and have the "problemed" MacB boot into the "good" MacB and see if the problem continues, if so then yes it could be the DC_in board or possibly the logic board.

if you need any help feel free to email me

+ Good answer. Hold the "T" key down when booting into Target Mode. Your personal information could be considered spamming so put it on your Avatar page.
