I've got a pile of parts for these things that I don't need; enough to build 3 or 4 working Wallstreets. If you're willing to pay for the shipping to and from my home, I'll fix it for you. I've got extensive experience fixing the G3 Powerbooks (as well as other PC and Mac laptops), and it's good deed time for me :)
It sounds like a DC-IN board problem. Sometimes the solder points break and the jack will actually wiggle up and down a bit. Repair and/or replacement requires extensive dismantling of the case, including removing the screen assembly.
