Hi all! I'm trying again after a long period of time to find a power adapter/charger for a Zenith Z-Sport 425S laptop. I have looked all over Ebay, googled it, checked yahoo auctions, and simply cannot find one. Does anyone have any ideas on where I can find this adapter? I'd appreciate it if everyone could keep an eye out, and maybe even post on other sites they may be members of to see if anyone in this world has this laptop, and the adapter, like I do. It has a unique plug in, so a universal wont work. I have also called Zenith, but they no longer have any records of the laptop, much less the adapter. Any help would be very much appreciated! I am in the USA, but figured it couldnt hurt to try everywhere! LOL

Well, I've decided not to keep trying to find this adapter, it doesnt seem to be out there anyway. The laptop is so old it has a 25 mhz processor, and a max of 12 MB RAM. That much I've been able to find out. I was really just curious as to whether or not it still worked. Thanks to all who tried!

If you're willing to take a chance it sounds to me as if you need to take it apart, identify the positive and negative terminals inside the the laptop and then get any old 240v/12v converter. With a bit of judicious soldering work you should get something out of it, but with those specs, not a great deal. If 12v isn't enough you might need to go up to 15 or 18v.
