I dropped my laptop charger onto the tiles and ended up cracking and denting two of them...
Where can I pick up an original Dell charger, or maybe just a decent third-party replacement that actually works?

Dammit, which specific Dell are we talking about?

If it's an older model (two years or more), you'll find one easily—every third-party shop carries them. But if it’s a newer connection type, you're going to have a hell of a time finding it since these generic brands rarely stock the latest stuff.

Whatever, just take the laptop (or your old charger) down to a local computer shop and test it out there.

Dell K556UQ, roughly 2 years old.

PS. Sorry for double posting, I thought the first one didn't go through...
