At this point, we really don't have any replacements other than warranty return. We hope to be able to make spare parts available in the future, but that program isn't up and running yet.

You can bring the whole laptop and charger to a Radio Shack store or shop online http://www.radioshack.com/sm-12vdc-1500ma-socb-ac-adapter--pi-2190632.html use M tip part number 273-1716. Or take your XO to another comprehensive electronics store like Circuit City to find an alternative charger.

Some IBM power adapters have the same power connector as the XO adapter. Adapters known to work are the Thinkpad 600E, X20, X40 and probably all adapters for the T and X series until Lenovo branding. Good sources for IBM adapters are eBay.

From our wiki, the DC power connector is:

DC power: 6mm (1.65mm center pin) connector; 11 to 18 V input usable, –32 to +40V input tolerated; power draw limited to 15 W.

What this means is that any charger you find whose tip fits into the XO's power port, and which outputs between 11-18V (preferred) should work beautifully.
