Where can I buy only part of a compaq laptop charger?
I was wondering if/where I could but the part of a compaq charger where it plugs into the computer. The battery itself is fine it's just the little adapter part that got bent and doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know here I could just buy that part and how much it will cost?

Any handy electrical store sells them.

It's almost impossible to bend the tip of the charger plug that's attached to the power cord. If that does happen, it can be replaced with a generic connector (assuming you can find the identical size). That's not always easy to find. More commonly, the socket in the laptop gets damaged. Replacement parts are available for a short period of time for those, but they often require quite a bit of work to install as modern laptops are built for low cost, not ease of repair.

I would agree, finding the connector tips and replacing them (which would also include you repairing it) is near to impossible since they don't sell those separately. Your only solution is to get a new charger. I would highly suggest you do so and stop to use the current charger you have because it is very dangerous. You risk causing a fire, or worse, frying your motherboard. If you need a new charger, you can go online on sites like ebay or amazon but I would personally suggest you visit Topmic instead. Topmic is well known for their great services and their durable products. They include free shipping and free lifetime warranty. Yes, lifetime. This means if the charger ever stops working on its own for whatever reason, they would replace it as many times as needed at no additional cost, for life. This is a great way to save money in the long run and a good investment as well. Here's their link: http://www.topmic.com Best of luck.
