Based, unfortunately, on personal experience, you have a slowly dying
power cable. You have about 8 months (give or take) from the when the
problem initially began. To avoid buying an overpriced Apple
replacement part, check web sites for a replacement cable.
Also, my Book has the vertical stripes. Apple will NOT fix the
problem. Again, based, unfortunately, on personal experience.
Just out of curiosity, try running a graphic intensive game. Not a
golf program but something like KTA Tennis or a racing program.
Please et me know, off list, if anything happens to your screen.

Yes, my questions keep coming...
My wife's TiBook 400MHz has now developed a strange
problem where all of a sudden the charger stops charging,
the LED switches off and the PowerBook runs off the battery
until it goes to sleep due to lack of battery power.
When one unplugs and plugs the charger back in again,
it starts to charge. It doesn't seem to be a loose connection
as wiggling the adapter or plug makes no difference, only
unplugging/re-plugging makes it charge again.
?!?
