ebay.

China.

Seriously, sometimes it is ridiculously cheap and quick to shop
directly (online) in China (Caveat Emptor). I got replacement batteries
for my PengPod in less than a week for less than I would have paid
locally /IF/ they had even been available, which they were not.

Though it should be noted that you take your life into your hands with
some of the cheap power supplies that come out of that country, not to
mention the life of your equipment. Poor rectification, filtering,
regulation etc. threaten your stuff, dirt cheap components and track
spacing (distance between mains and low voltage parts on the circuit
board) threaten your life if it picks the wrong time to go wrong.

That said, if there's suspicion that the original ASUS power supply
had issues as well, I'm not sure exactly what to recommend without
looking into it deeper.
