Go and buy a new one.
I just got my Belkin for $15. They're good for anything, not just laptops. You could probably find one at Wal-Mart, that's where I got mine.
EDIT: The only thing bad about it is the fact that one, it runs on AAA batteries, not the normal AA batteries, and two, it only lasts a few weeks before needing to change them, if you don't turn it off frequently.
EDIT: EDIT: Wow, a ninja edit.
