Thanks!, it´s very easy, but I don´t know if it works, i mean, the green light turns on, but my iBook is not working (2 months ago), so, I Can´t just push the power button and check if it starts, someone with a working clamshell should try this. btw, replacing the DC plug is very hard, you need to open the iBook, and reach the logic board to do that (check the instructions in www.ifixit.com)
