Sony PCG-838 Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, please check on both the volts and amps outputs. The Sony PCG-838 power adapter is needed for two reasons, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. Because Sony uses one power charger that is probably used on other similar units, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. When purchasing a replacement charger, selecting the Sony OEM charger is the best one to choose. A universal AC adapter can be used if you are desperate.
What warnings are present when my charger has gone bad?
- The unit will not function while just using AC power
- Most Sony adapters can get quite warm when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge whatsoever
