You can buy a power cord in any electronics parts store...cut the cord to have a sample...you can connect the new one by splicing it.and twisting it and you should put an electrical tape to it..to make it insulated..

have you checked the three places the power cord is bolted into the washing machine? if a nut is loose that could be causing the problem. If you have a shorted cable I would recommend buying a new cable they aren't that hazard!
1
Connect the test leads to your DMM. Insert the black lead in
the black "common" socket and push the red lead in the red socket
labeled "volts, ohms, milliamperes." Set the function switch on your DMM
to the "ohms" function.
2
Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the space heater's
back cover and disconnect the power cord from the switch and heating
element
3
Check the power cord for a broken wire. Touch one test probe
to first one blade, then the other blade on the plug and then touch the
other probe to the other end of the power cord. If the wire is working,
there should be an indication of 0.00 to 0.5 ohms between each blade on
the plug and a different end of the power cord. If the meter indicates
"O.L." on one or both sides of the cord, the wire is defective. Most
often, the wire will be broken right at the molded plug or inside the
plug. The easiest way to fix this problem is to replace the cord set.
4
Check between the two sides of the power cord for a 0.00 to
0.5 ohms reading indicating a short between the two sides of the line
cord. If the heater tripped a circuit breaker, there is a short circuit
somewhere in the heater wiring. Shorts in a power cord usually occur
inside the molded plug. The short could be inside the cord set, if it
has been pinched or cut. Fix by replacing the cord set.
5
Check the thermostatic switch by placing one test probe on
each of the switch terminals. Turn the switch slowly through its
complete range. The DMM should indicate a continuous 0.00 to 0.5 ohms
throughout the switch's full range of movement. An "O.L." indication
here indicates a faulty switch, and you need to replace it. The reason
that a functional switch could read 0.5 ohms and not 0.00 ohms is that
some DMMs read their internal fuse's resistance.
6
Check the heating element for an open circuit or short
circuit. A typical radiant heating element will have a resistance of
roughly 15 to 30 ohms. A burned out heating element will read "O.L." and
need to be replaced. A reading significantly lower than 15 ohms
indicates a shorted or partially shorted heating element, and it needs
to be replaced.
7
Reconnect the wires that you disconnected earlier and plug
the heater in. Check the blower motor voltage if the heating element
gets hot but the fan does not work. This is the only test that you will
have to make with the heater plugged in, so use caution here.
8
Set the DMM for "AC volts" and touch the test probes to the
motor leads. A reading of 115 volts here indicates a defective fan
motor, and you need to replace it.
Pig tails are available thru Lowes in various wire gauges and lengths. Remove cover to pressure switch and notice wiring and replace with new cord (9 to 12 feet will work great). If your pressure switch is inside the cover and you do not want to bother with complicated procedure; just install a male plug on short remaining cord and just buy a 12 foot 14 guage cord. Good holidays
You need two cables - one for power and the other for data. The USB cable is easy to replace at most stores with computer accessories. You need a cable with A/B male ends (standard USB cable). If you need the power cable, that may be harder without contacting HP. The end of the power cable may be specific to HP.
I hope this helps.
Cindy Wells (Even Walmart has USB cables. HP recommends using a cable that is no longer than 6'.)
One way would be to go to a store that sells electrical parts and buy a replacement plug and install it. The other would be to replace the whole cord, much more time consuming and probably a bit more expensive. I'd just go and buy a new plug.
Yes you will be able to replace the power cord and transformer (the black box).
Just to be sure thought. Shutdown your laptop and plug the cable into the laptop again. The laptop should show LED's on the front of it to show that the power is plugged in and is charging the battery. This is usually symbolised by a green or orange led.
The easiest thing to change for now would be the cable but if you continue to have issues you may have a larger problem with the power input module within the laptop itself.
