I have a 600MHz G3 DualUSB iBook. It has been a great companion over the years. I gave it to my then wife to use as her daily computer. With more use and abuse it developed problems with charging the iBook. The round plug never fit just right. Never snug. It was always loose and took some rotating to get the amber or green light to turn on. When I got it back .. the battery was dead, and i couldn't get a charge.
Originally I thought it was the power chrod, causing the issues. I swapped it with my sisters and it has the same problem. I was able to get the amber light on and it chaged 2/4 bars. It barely boots. When it gets to log on it powers off.
Suggestions? I'm considering a MB or MBP if I can't get this going for under $100
