URGENT: Laptop AC Adaptor needed

The Dixie Mall flea-market may have used AC adaptor's and cables but it is a long-shot. I usually go to this place at the intersection of Eglintion and Mavis. The computer store is located right beside NO FRILLS. I find the prices a bit cheaper here. Sorry, not sure what the name of the place is. Or you try doing a search of computer accessory retailer's on www.411.ca to see which store's are closer to where you live. If nothing works out, then just go to FutureShop or BestBuy.
Don't forget to try Radio Shack. And don't limit your search to computer AC adapters - all you need is a generic AC adapter that can deliver the right combo of voltage / current to the right sized plug to fit your laptop.
Active Surplus on Queen just east of Spadina (south side of Queen) might have what you need.

It's quite simple to make a AC-DC power-supply.
120/20(perhaps centertap transformer), a bridge rectifier, a Voltage regulator... ( some filter capacitors...)
What happend to your old one..V-regulator short?
Most typically it's a simple open ckt in the wireing.
Retermination may fix it .
Good luck
