Where can I get a power adapter connector to my Aspire A517-52-530V?

The connector is damaged, doesn't make reliable contact, & won't even stay plugged in. I need to replace it but can't find it. Unfortunately it is an unusual design & is not the common barrel male or female plug type. I've never seen one like this anywhere else. I've done a lot of searching & have not found one that looks like it. I can't find a part number for it either. The adapter model is ADP-45FE F which is available from many sources, but they all have common barrel plugs. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    That's because the plastic concentric cylinder that insulates the metal barrel connector from the central hole connector has broken off along with the most of the metal barrel. The plug on the right is how the ADO-45FEF plug should look so  you should order by that part no.
