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.
When you say power cable, which part do you mean ?
My adapter only has the psu with cable and the plug that
plugs into 230V, not the long mains cable.
???
My TiBook adapter failed where the line went into the plug for the
book. The strain relief/flex covering isn't strong enough so it
cracks and lets the wire flex at a right angle. Eventually the shield
cracks and power is lost. The AlBooks have a heavier gauge wire and
stiffer covering at the plug.
I lost one adapter and a second is going. I used silicone to stiffen
the joint on the second. Seems to be working so far.
