Look at the adapter connection on the laptop. What kind of connection is it? This may be solved with a simple trip to Radio Suck or WallsMart.
If it's the circular style plug, there should be a voltage label near it. You can just go to a store and get a plug with the right size plug and the right voltage rating. If not...well I have to know what kind of plug it is first.

Re: (Bandit240)
I assume youve tried ebay....?
I would assume NEC wouldnt have it anymore....
Back in the day, they made some goofy plugs and adaptors for them.....

Ebay has nothing for it at all. I had the adaptor for it 3 years ago but a thunder storm ended that fast
here is my best paint shop work of what the plug looks like along with the info off the computer and battery

Damn 17 volts!!!!
Is there anyway you could splice and make your own adaptor? Maybe just find a 17volt DC adaptor and splice in your own connector?
