[QUOTE="shicks, post: 885780, member: 114670"] Hi, I'm repairing a PB G4 15" AL. A friend dropped it on power adapter when he tripped over it. It would work(boot up) after that if he wiggled the power adapter in the slot. Then after a few months it stopped working, he bought a new power adapter and it worked again, then suddenly stopped working. When the power adapter is plugged in, it only glows green and will not power on. I have replaced the DC-IN card and still the same thing. I guess it's possible that the new card is also dead, but assuming it is not, what else should I try? I don't have a diff charger or battery to test, but those are next on my list. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you, Stephen. [/QUOTE]
