PC cord going/went bad

Where can I get a replacement cord for my PC. Mine is bad. Where the cord goes into the back of the machine, the little rubber boot came off some time back. I guess the cord got pulled, tugged, twisted, and turned one too many times. Now I have to hold the cord a certain way for the machine to come on.
Any info would be appreciated.

(looking for a cord as long as I can get it.)

:bigups

I would think you could call a place that sells them like coastal tool, or porter and cable themselves and get a replacement cord.

Or just do what I did when I chopped the cord to my skil saw off accidently (while miraculously avoiding being shocked). I cut the end of an extention cord off and spliced the saw to that. Now I have a Skil saw with a 100 foot power cord. :) You should be able to do the same thing with the PC I would imagine.

If you can take it apart, then why not look inside and see if the connection is bad? I`m sure HD or Lowes sells generic power cords for replacements.

If you do change the cord, make sure you install it with a `stress reliever`. It`s like a grommet that helps prevent the cord from being pulled on and out.

Beemerboy beat me to it; however, here is a more specific link:

That is why my cord went bad. The stress reliever came apart and has been missing for some time. After a year or so of it missing, it worn the cord out and did something to the wires on the inside.

I took the machine apart to see if it were a connetion, but it wasn`t.
Thanks for the links. I found a cord online and stress reliever online for less than $15.

I actually went to Lowes and bought a replacement cord. It was considerably longer than the cord that came on the PC. It worked out nice....
