Got my power brick. I also managed to snag some AAAA batteries which I've been meaning to search for.
The store really is meant for power supplies. I thought that it would be nice if I were building something and go there to shop for things to use in powering my doomsday devices or something.

Glad you got it sorted.
I would add that Belkin and Targus both make generic replacement power supplies, with a variety of connectors and output voltage selection etc. I picked one up locally when my power brick died, can't for the life of me remember where though
