    My original power adapter snapped at the plug, and I need to buy a new one. Problem is that I can't find the originals listed on the dell site anymore!

    I live in Australia, any suggestions?

    eBay? Look for the PA-10 or PA-3E. Make sure it's a genuine Dell brick.

    Yes. The PA-10 was used for all of Dell's lines. So is the PA-3E.

    If in doubt check the DC voltage and power rating of your old PSU. Most (all?) Dells recent PSUs are 19.5V and are rated at 65W (usually sufficient if you have Intel graphics), 90W (most common) or 130W (for very power-hungry machines).
