Hmmmm...I jsut might have one. Is this the type with the big flat area for your thumb to grab hold?

Junk,

Which type of plug do you need where it plugs into the power supply?
There's a couple variations.
One has 3 prongs in a triangular shape, the other has 3 in a straight line with 2 connected together and the 3rd prong by itself.

Junkman, post a photo of the receptacle in the power supply, and I'll look around.

If it's the three-in-a-triangle with flat cable, they are hard to find in good condition. Might as well buy new, or from Ebay.

My friend who bids surplus equipment auctions had dozens of Dell laptops but only half as many of those cords, when I took in my daughter to get her a dorm laptop.

Also, there is a recall for some of the S/N's of this power supply (photo) due to spontaneous fire. You might want to research that.

I just had 3 of those recalled PA-6 power supplies replaced with PA-9s. The problem for Junkman, if he has one of the recalled units, is that none of them came with the power cord. Hutch
