Sadly it was more than just the power cable. I got the new one finally, but it didn't work: something INSIDE the lappy didn't work, and a very short and slight investigative excursion to the inner workings ended abruptly and tragically.
A couple of the too-short connect wires broke, so my laptop now wont work.
On a sidenote, I NEVER found why it wouldn't charge, because the power jack seemed fine, but the charging light never came on.

So, I won't use my laptop any time soon... I don't know if or when I could ever get it to a professional repair shop, or something, so it won't get fixed soon.

*nooo





*lie

That is simply horrible! Something must be done about this! Um, we may have an extra Think Pad that still works, although you might have to use windows 2000, is that okay?

On a sidenote, my laptop's Macintosh stopped working! I am forced to use Vista! It is so terrible! I can't even check my email! I am going crazy! There is no power in Vista! Plus, shortly after it stopped working, I got a virus/trojan in Vista that imitates an antivirus program, and gives me a fake blue screen of death! Then a fake Windows XP boot screen! It is called rapid antivirus, and it gives fake virus messages! But I found the process and ended it, so it isn't that big of a deal, but I still haven't found a way to get rid of it.

I feel your pain.

Well, my Macintosh is working again, but there are graphics problems for some reason *omg. I am trying to get it to work properly, but it is tough. It is starting to drive me crazy!

Just remember, I here for you.

Well, I fixed the problem.
