I had to buy a new ac adapter cord for my laptop not too long ago
because the dog got ahold of mine and chewed it to the point of it not
working anymore. The adapter cords are pretty expensive, I know the one
for my HP Pavillion DV6700 was anyways. I purchased the cheapest one
that I could find at one of my local retail stores (walmart) it was just
a basic universal laptop cord. It was around $100. I checked at other
places such as radioshack and places like that and there cost was just
the same. After I bought the cord I came home and looked for one online.
To my suprise there were some that were alot cheaper when ordered from
some different sites online. If you have to but a new one I suggest
trying to find one and buy it from a website because the cost seems to
be much cheaper. If I would have ordered mine online instead of from
walmart I would have saved quite a bit. The cord online was somewhere
around $30 or so. Also you can use a universal one. You dont have to buy
the same one that came with your computer or the one from the
manufacter. The original ones are definately very costly.

Take it back to Wal-Mart and get a refund. Then order the one you want.

You can buy an AC adapter for almost any common laptop from a major
mfgr. on E-Bay for $20 or less (sometimes for $10). They are made in
China knock-offs, but they generally work ok.
