The label on the back is what most would use.
It will say what voltage it is, what power it can provide.
The back of the laptop or the case on it will hopefully also do that.

Equally most would probably look either for a replacement for the model of laptop. Might be a shade more expensive than something that "works" but should get you what you need.

If there is a good computer/electronics repair shop around you then they often have boxes of the things.

You could probably fix it as well but I will skip that one for now.

Also "twisted cable syndrome"... I don't know that I have really ever seen that for a laptop supply, unless you mean where it joins the power brick. If it fails randomly I tend to find it is more the connector on the motherboard and replacing the power supply is not going to help you much there.

i see, thanks for the info, I'll probably go to best buy with the cable, maybe theyll be able to give me the exact same one...
As for the Twisted Cable Syndrome, it's near the plug that goes in the laptop
