Sp3 power cord compatible with sp1?

[hastyle]

Hey guys I got a sp1, the power cord that goes from the wall to the charger box started smoking and melting. Microsoft is sending a replacement but I can't wait. I can't find the sp1 charger locally , can I buy the sp3 charger and and use the power cord with my charger ? Thanks

Hey hastyle,

You can probably get that cord locally, the part that you're describing, from the wall to the brick, is just a generic part, it's called a "figure-8 appliance cord" or something similar, as seen here- http://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-107..._UL160_SR160,160_&refRID=0GTFPRSAK4YSZTB6Q00F

You shouldn't have to buy another power brick just for that one piece, hopefully someplace in your are will have one.
