    If your battery is borked, then you can replace it from a few sources - I think OWC do Apple batteries (http://www.macsales.com/) but they're not cheap. You might find something cheaper on eBay but there again, it won't have a guarantee and won't hold a charge as long etc etc.

    You could probably send it into Mactivate, but to be honest, it's such an old machine it probably isn't worth the price that they'll ask for.

    Is it a PSU problem as distinct from a battery problem? PSU would be harder to rectify.
