    Hey guys

    I brought my Sager 5760 down to Miami with me and after unpacking everything I realized I didn't bring down the power cord that plugs into the actual AC adapter :(

    It is a 3 pronged powercord....one which I've never seen before.

    Will I be able to find one of these powercords at a RadioShack or Circuit City?

    Please let me know!

    Thanks!!

    It should be universal.

    Clevo power adapters are probably NOT universal.... they seem very proprietary from my experiences.

    You can bring your notebook to the stores and see if they have an adapter that fits, as well as have the correct Amps/Wattage/Voltage.

    for my 9262, the power cord that plugs into the adapter is a generic power cord that you can use with any computer.

    I've never seen a power supply like this before.

    if your AC adapter has the normal 3 prong power cord you can use any that will fit.

    just don't try to use a different AC adapter

    well, i guess I'll have to start going to stores to see if I can find one. And by "three pronged" I did not mean the side that plugs into the wall outlet, but the end that actually connects to the AC adapter itself. It does not look like any AC adapter that I've ever seen, but who knows! - I haven't been shopping for AC adapters in a long time :p
