Hi, is this what you are looking for? Check the plug in the picture, is it the same type and size?

Hi Thanks but no. This charger has a small rectangle that plugs in the laptop.Have done some research into this and other people cannot get this as well.

other people cannot get this as well.

I see what you mean - I looked too and found nothing with a rectangular plug.

 

Just a thought - if the one with the rectangular plug is dead ......cut off the plug leaving a long section of the wire attached to the plug.....

If there are only 2 or 3 wires it should be possible to buy one like Nev's link - cut off the round plug and solder on your rectangular one.

 

Worth a try ?

Kens suggestion is about the only way I can see to solve the problem, be sure to make note of polarity, as in positive and negative wires going to the same when connected, usually one has a white stripe down the length of it.

The type of plug you describe I have actually got one here, but unfortunately, it is the charger lead for a now old DV digital tape type video camera I have. Much lower voltage and power capabilities, so useless for you unfortunately.
