This link shows what model you need, however, they are 65W.

Do a Google search. There are some 3rd party adapters that will work. Don't know if the Apple Store has them.

I was able to get a new one on amazon for about 20 dollars and it has worked great for the past 6 months now.

I used to use an adapter from Kensington for my PowerBook. It was great, it had wall, car, and airplane plugs.
