DIY for the time being, been looking for such 3-pin plug with grounding. Maybe 1 day I will have enough fund to manufacture it myself.

Retailer wont sell the plug head on shelve display. It's too cheap and it doesn't come with packaging unless it's the Universal Travel Kit.

For those that's going to DIY, please test the plug with something cheaper first, like USB charger. Do not test it on your RM299 magsafe.
But it's a simple cable lead only. Shouldn't be a problem for most of you. You will find it hard to insert the charger if you use thick cable. I've actually cut a small line on the plug to place the cable. |

Have you try pushing the pin with a toothpick? It might spring back.
