A long time ago I built a variable voltage power supply for my test 
bench.  I can set it to almost any volatage I need.  If you can get the 
laptop to me, (West JOCO or midtown area) I will make a pig-tail adaptor 
for it  and test it out to see if it even works.  If it works, you can 
always buy a simple adaptor and we can wire it to the correct plug.

I have always found that replacement parts,  like the universal power 
supply which are more expensive, don't seem to be as expensive when you 
know the device you are buying for actually works!

At 20, I was liberal, because I had nothing to lose and so much to gain.
by 40, I was conservative, because I had so much to lose and so little to gain.
Isn't it amazing what 20 years of hard work and experience will do for ones' point of view?
