I also need this tip, but they do not want to send it to me ...

no tricks, I just asked for it directly and the guy placed the order and gave me confirmation
I think it depends on CSR if he want to do it or not

if you didnt got any luck end the call and retry some other time

Here's one. Saw a couple here a few weeks back:

Note: the Lenovo version looks nearly identical, but does not work (at least probably without modification).

first thank you all for all the information , I have been googling around for answers in last week, and only here when I knew that I can order free tips directly from kensington, I just called and ordered N9 and USB1 from them

now my real problem is the Dual charging cable ... why is discontinued
the CSR told me ( No Sir we don't manufacturing that part anymore)
and not on ebay and only few online stores still have it in stock but they dont ship to Canada

If any budy have it Im willing to pay for it

If u can get me a USB1 tip (not USB1B), then I can get ya a dual charging cable.
Also on the lookout for a spare dc cable, and a spare ac cable (2 pin euro) if anyone had one.

Other posters have said that the xxxB tips can be converted to work with the older adapters by removing the extra tab. I seem to recall that whomever stated this had done voltage/current measurements to show that there was no significant change by using the B tip with an old non-B adapter in this way.

Of course YMMV, and all that....

its the dc out to the tips cable, but I only need that if I get the USB1 tip, so if you get a USB1 tip let me know, and I'll send you my unused dual charging thingy.

The N14 tip *might* work - it looked the same size but I didn't check for fitment or voltage, and I don't have a Mini9.

I was just on the phone with Kensington and I was told that they don't have a tip to fit my Lenovo Thinkpad SL500. Would that be true? If so, then it means my power adapter is just a brick.

I'll bet you can get it from Lenovo, and then modify the tabs to work with the Kensington. No guarantees though; if you mess up your gear it's your fault
