    I forgot my power cord at home. I am traveling down USA west coast. California andbthen to Yuma Arizona. Where can i buy the cord only? I have the power brick. The plug is the smaller triangle shape and not the larger standard computer power cord. Used would be awesome but new is ok if its not to inconienient to get to. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Check with a Dell repair centre or store - there should be one somewhere near you.

    Do you mean the C5 cloverleaf plug which looks like this? This is standard for most notebook computers and should be available at any good electronics store.

    Fry's Electronics carries them, so look for a store near your route. I think there's only one in Sacramento (if you're going down I-5), though there are several stores in the Bay Area and LA areas. Check for store locations on Frys.com.

    Thanks for everyones assistance. I found a complete 65W Dell PSU for $1.99 at a used stuff store in a small hick town in Oregon. Now I need a cord to charge my Olympus TG4 digital camera. Its USB with a weird connector at the camera end. The cord for the 65W PSU fits my 130W so it all worked out.

    The camera probably has a special socket selected from the time when micro USB wasn't common. Once selected, the camera manufacturers tend to keep to the same socket and cable so a cable for another Olympus might fit. The alternative is to find a universal camera battery charger. These have movable contacts which you adjust to fit the battery you want to charge.
