WTB: Dell Laptop Charger

[michelle]

Lola decided Adam's laptop cable would be tasty, so she chewed the end that connects to the computer.

Looking for an octagon-shaped end type. If you think you might have something, let me know and I can look up the model of Dell to see if it is compatible.

I have a "universal adapter", but none of the plugs match. The Best Buy Geeks were even stumped and said I would have to contact Dell. Their new Dell laptops have the same style connector, but none of their universal adapters work.

Just checking here while I am also checking Ebay, Craigslist, and Dell. I know there are some computer guys on here that might have that type of stuff on hand.

Thanks!

Finally found a Dell one on Ebay for $15 with free shipping. Picture shows the octagon style connector and is the same model/part number as the one that came with the laptop. Found a lot of "compatible" ones, but nothing with the stupid octagon shape.

Thanks! This can be closed.
