    I came home for spring break and realized that I forgot my power adaptor. I was going to buy a universal one to use, and I was wondering what the polarity of the connecter is. I know the voltage as written on the back of the machine but nothing is written in respect to + - of the connector.

    Thanks.

    As long as it can supply 65W, don't sweat it :)

    19V 3.42A centre positive.

    Anything with a similar voltage and a similar or greater current rating will work fine provided the plug fits. I think that almost all the coaxial power plugs use centre positive - it is prudent to keep the ground outside where it is exposed.
