Reset everything if you haven't already. Otherwise, I think I saw a similar problem posted on the Apple Discussions:

I have same problem w/my 233 mhz Lombard and am fairly certain the problem is the power supply; local Apple repair shop said it could replace just the power supply; don't know if that's what you were referring to when you said you replaced the "power mgmt. unit" . . . good luck

First, a 233MHz is a Wallstreet, not a Lombard (Unless you meant 333).
The 'power system' on a powerbook consists of AC adapter, AC board, and Battery charge board. The Wallstreet also has a separate PMU board, its integrated (with the battery board I think) on Lombard and Pismo models.

You can replace any of these parts if you suspect they are faulty.
It should be noted that logic boards and CPUs can cause power problems too.

Usually this problem is the processor board (daughtercard), and it is extremely common issue. The fix is to replace the card. Any card from the link below will work:
