 My wife has a G4 Powerbook. We replaced the AC adapter cord once

 need it to work for long, just long enough to copy a document to a
 thumbdrive.
 
 I don't know anyone in the area with a battery that we could swap
 until the job is done.
 
 Help!
 

I have to turn them till I get a connection quite often, if that doesn't do it 
and you tested the voltage in at the DC board then the DC board is probably bad.
