    You can use any cord as long as it has a ground on it and has the right connector for the PSU of course. I don't always use the original cord that game with my G73, i have one permanently in the office, two spare ones at home that were originally mean for IBM laptops and the one that came with my G73 that i carry in the bag.

    I use this type of connector with my 66W power supply, but if i keep my leg on the floor and touch any metal objects in my g73 , OMG 19V just pases through me, so its better to get a 3 pin plug.
