So team-4480, have you gotten any more info on the stock power supply? I'd love to help you figure out an off the shelf solution for powering that.
So here is the picture of the back of the power brick.

I did some searching on bypassing the "smart power plug" and there are some people suggesting that it has been done just to wire in a 2K resistor to the positive side and a capacitor to the negative and feed that into the white wire. Apparently, that white wire wants something like 12-13V.
