One such adapter is depicted at this link, which is offered only for example.
On the Powerbook side, many of the Powerbooks have a small, inexpensive DC-in board that houses the connector. Often, these are easy to replace. You might want to at least take a look at the iFixit site Powerbook Pages for more information.

I shall definitely look into the replace DC option as it seems a waste of a perfectly good computer.
Where do I look to check if mine is a DVI or VGA model?
Thank you.

The connector on the back or side of the machine for video will either be a DVI (pretty much rectangular) or VGA (bigger pins and trapezoidal). For exact information, start at this link from iFixit.
