Googling around it seems like you need a power supply that can provide:

  • 20v DV
  • 4.5 amps or better.

So you could check your junk drawer and see if you have an old power supply that can provide that.

Not sure what kind of plug you need on the end. That's the tricky part, since there is really no standard.

However when Googling around I also found that you could get a real Inspiron 8100 power adapter for about $20 including shipping from a number of sources. I'd go with that.

You can buy generic laptop PSUs for a few dollars there is no magic about a Dell one. If you're in the UK, Maplin have a good range.
