I've got a PB12/1.33 and it's brick connection is fussy as well.
But it's not the charging but the power for the illuminated ring. The menu bar indicator shows the PB being charged, though the light doesn't always light up. So I search for and find the sweet spot, but as a guy, I'm used to that.
The power jack seems loose, as though the connection to the board has weakened. On the other hand, my iB12's jack is rock solid.
I don't know how the plug's pin get broken in the jack, but I've see several people here mention that, so I try to be very careful about plugging and unplugging the adapter.
The cable is getting frayed at the substandard strain relief of the plug, and I've been looking for non-Apple AC adapters for the PB. Lots of complaints about the $10 Kensington and the Macally adapters.
I may go for the NewerTech if it's up to the job. (The Kensington is *70W*!)
