I wasn't going to replace the plug, I was going to replace the entire power supply.
My daughter was really good at breaking off the male end of the plug inside her iBooks. I always sent the iBook back to Apple rather than DIY. From your description olnacl, that may have happened at one time to that powerbook and the owner attempted/did the removal themselves.
The plug on this powerbook fits fine, I just have to rotate it in order for the charging circuit to close. I do not have to push. I'd be more concerned if pushing were needed.
I have a Macbook Pro at home and the mag connector is wonderful. No more worries about the plug breaking off inside of the laptop. Of course it's easier for my cats to unplug it, but I can live with that.
Personally, at this point I'd be far more interested in getting a Macbook or Macbook Pro than a powerbook G4.
