Yes, but it's easier to just buy a replacement charger:

Ooops. I don't like stright power plugs because the center pin wire
tends to break inside the plug. A right angle plug is easier on the
connectors and uses less desk space for the cord:

With the right-angle connectors the shield wire tends to break at the
joint... :-(

That's less likely than with the straight in connector, where the tiny
center wire tends to break when you bend or flex the cord. That
usually happens when the power connector is in back of the laptop, and
one shoves the laptop into the wall. The cord hits the wall, bends to
a sharp 90 degree angle, stretches the center wired, and eventually
breaks it.

The straight in connector is also longer than the right angle
connector. If the cord is pulled in the wrong direction, the
connector will bend and eventually break the jack. The longer lever
arm produced by the straight in plug does more damage than the shorter
right angle plug.
