    Anyone know where I can pick up the 6ft two prong cord for my PA10 A/C adapter? It came with the 3 ft version but I see on the Dell accessory page they sell them with a 6ft cord. But I don't need another adapter, just a longer cord.

    Already doing that.... not what I want...

    OK - to answer my own question, I called Dell spare parts and they actually had the three prong 6ft version for sale separate from the A/C adapter. $12 plus $5 shipping + tax.

    BTW: these guys have 3 ft cords, including a UK cord if anyone needs it. I picked up a 6 cell battery from them - works great:

    eBay will be your savior. It did for me, when I bought a cord for a 5$ refurb AC adapter for my m1330

    You can get them from SterlingTEK. The PA10 adapter cord is not on the website but if you call they will sell it to you 877-742-1700. STK also sells the apple adapter cords in white. A lot of the adapters on Ebay are white but they send them out with black cords...
