    I hate to say, but you could probably try see if you can find anything on eBay.

    Why not just buy a power inverter and be able to plug anything into it?

    that's what I was going to say, and that's speaking from experience :D Just make sure the unit that you buy will be able to supply the power needed for your laptop adapter's input and not the output. I think mine does 3.5A or so at 110V from the car battery, speaking of which that's where you connect it directly with wires, and not to the cigarette lighter as the fuse there will blow up, lol.
