I guess the first question to ask would be: Are you sure the power supply is the problem and not just the cord? If you have a multimeter and are very careful, you can plug the cord into the outlet and then check to make sure power is delivered to the other end. A replacement cord is only a few bucks at the most. If the cord isn't the problem and the computer is out of warranty, there are several places that advertise in ComputorEdge all the time. Unfortunately, I don't have any first hand experience with them, as I tend to try and fix things myself.
