ibook g3 800 issues

i bought (cheaply) a used ibook 800 with the notorious gpu issue. ive managed to get it to work using the shim method (http://www.powerbook-fr.com/ibook/bricolage/repair_g3_video_en_article797.html) butim still having ussuesaround the dc in plug.
sometimes the ibook refuses to recognize the charger, and other times the movement of the plug/dc board appears to cause the lcd/gpu issues to happen.
does this make any sense? are the gpu and the dc board somehow related?

thanks
