If not, it could be the Power Adapter is not working correctly &

Yes it's on and green. I left the PowerBook shut down and unplygged
last night and when I plugged in the adaptor this morning it glowed
orange and recharged to green. Interestingly the computer shows the
battery @99%, not 100% charged.
Unplug the power adapter from the wall, let it sit for 60 seconds,
and then plug the adapter back in.
If the adapter works after this 60-second "rest," you most likely
have a line noise issue with your power source that will require
you to reset the adapter (by repeating this moment of rest)
periodically. This happens when the AC adapter's over voltage
protection feature senses ground noise and then turns off the
adapter. Some possible sources of line noise include lights with
ballasts, refrigerators, or mini refrigerators that are on the same
electrical circuit as your computer.
