I have a Wallstreet 2, and after much work, we determined it was also the PMU going bad. It started with 2-3 restarts, by the time I retired the computer, it could take as much as 20 + forced restarts until it finally went through start up. Once there, it worked fine until it was powered off. The replacement of the PMU is not an easy task, it is located under the left hand rest and will require the bottom half of the computer to be disassembled. There are several powerbook companies on the web that do this for a flat fee plus the PMU: Powerbookguy.com Pbparts.com Powerbooktech.com Powerbookmedic.com Wegenermedia.com Most sell the PMU also, if you are feeling adventurous. My choice? I went ahead and bought a new iBook. Good luck!
