        Find out the specs required (voltage and such) and run down to your local electronics store.

                My Sidewinder FF AC adapter is rated
                Input 220V AC 50Hz 0.15A
                Output 12V DC 1.3A Center positive side negative.
                The output voltage looks quite common. Should be able to use a universal adapter as long as it can provide enough current and at the correct polarity.

                [Should this advice be taken, i shall NOT be liable for any damage caused]

                    Oracle, do you have a digital meter or continuity tester? The problem's probably either the end where you plug into the js or where the wire leaves the power brick.
