Surface Pro 2 power cord - no support

[sphinx99]

My Surface Pro 2 charger stopped working. Microsoft Store says that there is no support available, and calling Microsoft I'm told that the best they can suggest is that I search the Internet for options. This is my work laptop. Do I really not have any options?

Took a look online and this seems to be the best option I could find:

Amazon.com: Dragon 48W 12V 3.6A Power Adapter Charger For Microsoft Surface Pro 1 Pro 2 and 10.1 Windows 8 Tablet PC with USB charging Port: Computers & Accessories

Does this seem like a mostly safe bet?

From the fine print on the back this looks like a MS charger marketed in Japan. I'd guess it's probably a safe bet.
If you live in USA you can check out if Best Buy or Staples have any old SP1/2 chargers still for sale.

It arrived and seems to work quite well for the Surface Pro 2. Five stars to the third party aftermarket for stepping in to fill the void. None to Microsoft for the fantastic support of their product and their above-and-beyond willingness to point me in the right direction.
