If you go to Dell, they are going to say that you have to replace the entire power adaptor. Since the connector from the adaptor to the computer is proprietary, it is giong to be hard to find the part, but if you do find it, the replacing is easy, but mind you that you will be voiding your warranty the moment you remove the damaged connector. I am assuming that you system is out of warranty, but if it isn't, just ask for a replacmeent.
Just out of warranty, I always suspected that this was the weakest link to my laptop. If Dell would make the AC adapter with a plug coming out from the AC Adapter I could be only be spending around $5, instead of around $80. Still like my laptop, but I guess I could have a worst problem than a connector.
