Two alternatives to guessing and then praying that a new plug has
correct polarity, etc.:


Call vendor.  Describe problem.  Follow advice offered.


Or:


Determine yr. underlying OEM model.  Using said data, Web-search AC
adapters (esp. in usual places, e.g., Ebay).  Order one.  Celebrate.

(Beaucoup online vendors stock aftermarket AC adapters, Li-ion packs, &
such all.  They list what's compatible with what.)
