Here's an update:
after checking online for a replacement power supply, I found an 
original hockey-puck type for my son's KeyLime iBook.
Cost? $85.00 not including shipping and who knows how many days it 
would take to get here.

For the heck of it I called my local Apple store here in Indpls.
Not only did they have them, they were $69.00!

The KeyLime is ALIVE!
