The cost of the PMU is about $300 new
At one of these sites I found them for about US$99. I don't know how that converts to AU$. The site did not indicate if the parts were used, refurbished or new.
As far as doing it yourself, it is one of the hardest parts to replace (in
my opinion) since you must take apart the entire bottom casing after
removing the screen.
While it can seem intimidating, if you are careful and pay attention to what you are doing, it isn't difficult. I had to replace the PRAM battery in a WS I, which required me to take the computer apart. I had it apart in 20 minutes and back together again in less than 15 with all the screws and connexions in place. This was the first time I had to do this, too.
Try this site if this is the route you chose: http://homepage.mac.com/sysop/PhotoAlbum3.html for WallStreet http://homepage.mac.com/sysop/PhotoAlbum5.html for Lombard http://homepage.mac.com/sysop/PhotoAlbum7.html for Pismo
These are take-apart slide shows.
