My Dell laptop power adaptor has died on me and I'm in desperate need of finding a replacement. My problem however is that I bought the computer whilst at Uni in the US. On Dells US site I am told that this is the correct power adaptor required using 90 watts:

Can I find an equivalent UK version that would be compatiable and if so where?
Looking on the UK Dell site I believe this is the closest to what i am looking for:
http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=uk&l=en&s=dhs&cs=ukdhs1&sku=450-10297
Just seems quite expensive for what it is. Any advice or help would be much appreciated as my laptop is now useless until I find a solution!

What model number is your laptop??
Also you may be worthwhile checking out Tesco/PC World as they do a universal laptop power adaptor - also have you checked out ebay.
The universal adaptor is made by both Targus and Kensington.0 -
My laptop is an Inspiron 5100.
As for the universal adaptors, I also need the cord that plugs into the back of my laptop so presume a universal cord would not accomodate this?
I'll look into these universal adaptors - thanks.0 -
