[Francois Ouellette]

Try www.likenewcomputers.com they have off-lease IBM equipment, they may have spare power packs too.

  There are a few generic universal notebook adapters made by
  Targus.

  My only advice, is make SURE that your notebook is listed on the package.
  It must be an exact match, or else the thing may not work.  And they're expensive. 

  You can get one on College, in the computer district.

    I apologize in advance for an off-topic (and probably trivial) question. 

    Does anyone happen to know if laptop adaptor/power cords are generic or is
    it better (necessary) to buy the adaptor that matches the laptop? (I have an IBM
    think pad 21, whose adaptor just broke.)

    Thank you. 

    Cheers,

    Alex
