    Power cord or the entire power brick?

    You might be able to get away with using a power brick from another model, though you have to make sure that the voltages are the same. For most recent systems, you will typically have a 65W power adapter for integrated video, and 90W power adapter if it has some sort of graphics card like an ATI or nVidia.

    doesn't have to be an Asus, I have a W3J and am actually using an old Dell power cord, plugs directly into my power brick, my old Compaq leed from New Zealand also fits!

    If it is the same as the W3J, this one should fit
