[P1] Help! Plugging in power adapter shuts off my iBook

[Jason]

I fixed it! Just in case anybody runs into the same, or similar, 
problem...Replacing the DC board is a good first thing to try. Shipping 
included, the board cost me less than $30 and it came with great 
instructions on disassembly of my IceBook. Just needed several hours 
and a good way to keep screws organized.
