I have a 17 powerbook that will not charge. I bought a new charger just yesterday and it charged it up once and now it won't do it again. I have already taken it apart once and checked all connections inside and they are fine. This was before it charged with the new charger. Is it possible to have the charger board go out, or be sporadic? It has me a little disgruntle as you may imagine.

I don't know your exact model, but this could help...

Well it didn't work, but it is good to know. Thanks. I think it may just have to go in for some spendy apple repair... I was really dreading this too.
