Very possible: if you have the ability to do so, check the output voltage when you rattle it. If this passes, check the integrity of the connector (may necessitate the dismantling of your PB, a delicate exercise). I would even take apart the adapter (not when plugged-in !!!) to see what is loose inside. It sounds like someone dropped it, it opened (that is one way to crack open the case) and taped back.

I never thought of this before, but could my AC adapter be the reason my batteries aren't charging? These ones did the exact same thing the ones in my other PowerBook did and this is the same adapter. If I shake it it makes a rattling noise, it's held together with tape, and my PowerBook just randomly shuts off. Thanks. -- -John -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
