Can I power my laptop via another computer or other source?

Question

4yr old Medion laptop with a failed power adapter. I am having difficulty getting another adapter and am just about ready to buy another computer, so reluctant to buy if I don't have to. However, I want to download a few files off my hard-drive. I need to power it up temporarily. Would connecting it to another computer via their USB ports do it? Any other ideas. Thanks in advance.
