My Pismo is very fussy about the angle of the charger plug. To get a defininite overnight charge, I need to have a (horizontal) CD case tucked under the inserted plug, forcing it upwards very slightly, or no connection is made and no charge happens. This is gradually getting worse, and a borderline connection is often accompanied by a soft whining sound which stops when the plug is wiggled slightly.

I use the machine with 2 different Apple "yoyo" chargers. One seems to fit the Pismo's socket a lot better than the other, which is really tight and worries me, although it works.

Questions:

I probably need an AC/Sound board, right?

...and how many fractionally different sizes of "standard" charger socket did Apple use on the Pismo?

You do need a new Sound / AC Board. Apple made a few adapters, some tighter than others, but they all work.
