    I’m pretty sure you would have to make it. I don’t know what the current rating is for the other end of the cable but with a 330w requirement you may go over the rating. I think that is why most 330w supplies are either 4 pin, or the really large single pin connectors. You would have to try to source the connectors yourself and put the cable together but it should work on the 19v setting I would think.

    I tried to find a smaller adapter, for emergency use if I forget my big 330w one and just wanted to do light work. I would like a slim 150w one (for just surfing) that I could carry with me and not be so bulky. I would have to do the same thing with finding a connector and making it myself.

    I'm looking for an extension for the notebook side power lead. It's too short. Also, I think the 1 design flaw is the power cord connection, it frequently slips out.
