If you can't find a replacement by tomorrow just ask anyone who repairs small electrical goods - radios, TV's, laptops etc. - they should be able to do a quick temporary repair on the output lead for you.
The charger and the mains input lead need to be thoroughly checked for damage though.

 

You don't have a soldering iron and/or black electrical tape?

 

What? You keep your laptop outside?

Closest source to you for OEM replacement is Ohlip. (teo) Anyone can repair it.

Soldering iron or not go get a heat shrink multi-pack. Then double wrap it. Big tube smaller tube. Solder, heat shrink small tube, heat shrink larger tube. My terminology may not be perfect but I know what I mean. On the DC end just wrap them together and tape em for emergencies. AC side be careful as it bites. (Like that pup). I love pups (see below) but I know better than to let him in the shop as nothing needs to be watered.

G'luck mate.

Lortech, in a pinch, many use an IBM charger (16V) such as this:
FNACB10 - Panasonic Laptop AC Adapters
Good luck & best regards

 

Retired electrician here,,, shrink tube is the only way to repair a cord.

Bob... I agree. I think I have just about every size for a PC and other normal stuff.

 

Cut the damaged part off and solder a new end on the shorter cord.....No splicing needed...

 

When I was working and repairing heater cables imbedded under tile in bathroom floors I even used small tubes about the size of toothpicks before shrinking. I still have some and use it on the small wires to GPS engines.
