A Google search reveals many sources, including:

To OP. what is the model/number? You may be able to get even better

My Model is HP Pavilion Notebook, Daave. I knew these adapters

There's a more precise model number, that you need to know to determine the correct adapter. The real model number will be printed on a label on the bottom of the laptop.

The HP part number you've taken from the adapter is helpful in identifying appropriate replacements.
