iBook power problem

Friends,

I have an iBook that doesn't always power up when I plug it in. If I twist the part of the adaptor that plugs into the mac it will start to charge. I have two plugs and they both do the same thing.

It's been that way since the day I got it but I don't want to send it away to have it fixed.

Do you think that if I took it to an apple store they would fix it on the spot?

Hi,
Since you have 2 power supply's showing the samen problem, its probaly the socket on the mainboard. If it's an out of warranty iBook you'rse out of luck, cause they probaly will replace the entire mainboard (the "new" modulair repair system)

In that case, you'de better solder it yourself.
 
standard warranty is 12 months, so that should be no problem.
Changes of on the spot repair are just about zero i think, just about all repairs all handled by centralized repair centers
