Sony PCG-XG38 Power Adapter
Because Sony uses one power charger that is most likely used on other laptop models, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. The Sony PCG-XG38 power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge up the main battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. If buying off-brand, it is imperative to note the output of amps and voltage. A universal power adapter can be used but only if necessary. Upon choosing a replacement AC adapter, choosing the Sony brand one is usually going to be the safest choice.
How can I tell if my charger is not working properly?
- The laptop does not run using just the AC power adapter
- Most Sony adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge up completely
