Powebook G4 Charger Problems

[beatbox the fox]

Hello,

I am currently in possession of a powerbook G4 15" which is having difficulties when charging. The battery i feel is fairly old as it does not retain charge well when not plugged in. The charger has recently become temperamental, charging at a very slow rate, if at all and usually works if held at a certain angle. The last few days i have noticed that the green ring around the charger port occasionally turns red and have unplugged the charger and left it. I unfortunately do not have a manual to consult and would a appreciate any advice.

Thanks

Jorge

New charger

The battery may be going, too, but I have seen a dying charger prevent the battery from charging with my PowerBook G3 (Pismo).

Pick up a new power adapter to iFixIt.
