Sony VGN-A230B Power Adapter
If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, please check on the output of amps and voltage. The Sony VGN-A230B power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge any and all batteries while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. When choosing a new AC adapter, selecting the Sony OEM charger will probably be the safest way to go. A universal AC adapter is a possibility but only if necessary. Because Sony has been known to use a single AC adapter that is most likely used on other laptop models, be certain you select the correct one for the VGN-A230B model.
What to see if the AC adapter is crapping out?
- The laptop does not function while solely using the AC adapter
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge completely
- The majority of Sony power chargers will get warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
