Battery not charging after logic board install
Powerbook G4 17" 1.33
Apple PowerBook G4 1.33 17" (Al) Specs

I took a bit of a gamble on an ebay logic board for my powerbook 17" 1.33 laptop. All installed well or so I thought - now the battery wont charge, it doesn't drop it's charge either providing it's plugged in with the mains adapter. Here's what I've tried;
- reseting the PMU
- a different battery (also running coconutbattery app)
- quick Apple hardware test - everything passed
Here's my thoughts (I'd welcome yours);
Prior to the install I was confused by the thermal paste areas, I couldn't get a clear answer from my post (posted here and elsewhere earlier) so I ended up cleaning and applying arctic silver paste to the cpu, the power management unit and the gpu.
I wonder if the application of paste to the PMU was appropriate? It could be a bad connection - I'll open it up later and check the cables are properly seated.
It's definately not the adaptor or the batteries - I have two of both which I have tried and I know they are fine.
Comments appreciated
Thanks
ps; could be nothing but I'm noticing more static than before around the trackpad /speakers area.

I opened it up again and checked the connections, couldn't see anything obvious. Spoke to an apple technician earlier today who agreed it could be the PMU. System profiler reports the correct wattage on the adapters (65). Can I definitely rule out the DC-in board?

It would be great to get some feedback on this as I'm working on this laptop while on holiday and I've noticed it's getting hot. If the paste was incorrectly applied it would be good to know...
