OUTPUT = 12.0V/750MA.

The XO will try to pull much more juice than that close to 1.5A which is 
twice what your power supply is rated for.  You can try but depending on 
the design of the supply it might trip from thermal overload or worst 
case burn out.  Or it may just cruise right along delivering 750mA.   If 
it works thats enough power to run the XO and depnding on what you are 
doing charge the battery at a moderate rate.

ALSO, HOW CAN I GET A REPLACEMENT FOR THE 1 THAT CAME WITH THE LAPTOP?

A system for replacement parts is in the works.  There's a lot to work 
out though.  Right now though all you can do is RMA the whole deal.
