Not from personal experience (fortunately, none so far), but from 
reports on this list, I would tend to think that the power converter 
(the "brick" or "yo-yo" depending on type) is NOT the problem, but 
rather the PMU (power management unit) or other internal part.

If you're lucky, a reset should fix it - from the apple web site

PowerBook G3 Series (M4753)
      1. If the computer is on, turn it off.
      2. Simultaneously press Shift-Fn (function)-Ctrl (control)-Power.
      3. Wait 5 seconds.
      4. Press the Power button to restart the PowerBook computer.
It seems worth a try!
