    Need an earthed UK XPS M1530 adaptor

    I ordered a replacement power adaptor for my Dell XPS M1530 off ebay (for £10, not wanting to pay the crazy £53 for an official one), and discovered that it causes a ground loop issue with my home recording studio setup. Basically, the original power supply earths the laptop, but the replacement doesn't. Is there any way I can get an earthed (UK) adapter without paying the full £53?

    thanks
