It is possible your Wallstreet is suffering the "shielding" problem; if this is the case, it is a known issue and should be repaired by Apple irregardless of warranty status. The repair is minor, requires no parts, but does take some disassembly of the powerbook to "fix" (glue) the shield in place. As this article suggests, examine the port; you may be able to move the shield with a non-metalic probe, like a toothpick, but a more permanent repair is desirable.
http://til.info.apple.com/techinfo.nsf/artnum/n28500 If the above is not the problem, you may have a charger port that has come loose (failed solder joint) from the board; this can be repaired by a shop that does component-level repairs, while Apple would want to replace the board (I don't know which one). Also, I would try another power adapter to make sure yours has not failed; the PB1400, 3400, any G3, FireWire, and iBook power adapters are all interchangeable. I would recommend you not put any pressure on the power port...if the solder has not failed, meaning you have another problem, you will cause a failure eventually.
