The cost of the PMU is about $300 new (last time I checked, and you may not be able to purchase new since this is considered an Apple Service part only). You can find several companies who repair Powerbooks will also have parts such as this for quite a bit less. These companies also repair Powerbooks usually for a flat fee plus the charge for the part:
Some of these companies are: Powerbookguy.com Pbparts.com Powerbooktech.com Powerbookmedic.com Wegenermedia.com As far as doing it yourself, it is one of the hardest parts to replace (in my opinion) since you must take apart the entire bottom casing after removing the screen. The Service manual for your system is: pb_g3_series_bronze.pdf If you google for the file above, you should be taken to several download sites. This is the Apple Service tech manual and has complete take aparts for this model. Good luck!
