I agree with Dennis... continue the substitutionn approach, to 
specifically identify the problem.

Be systematic.
You have already started at the outlet (socket as we call it), so you 
know that you have electricity.
Then move to the power supply.
Try your power supply on another Powerbook/iBook.
Try another power supply (even at an Apple shop if you are near one) 
on your Powerbook.
I have a feeling it is the power supply.
