Sony VGN-A240 Power Adapter
Due to the fact that one Sony adapter powers multiple other machines, be sure you choose the right one. If buying off-brand, please check on the output of amps and voltage. The Sony VGN-A240 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge any and all batteries and powering the laptop. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if you absolutely need to. When choosing a new charger, the actual Sony brand is usually going to be the safest choice.
Major clues to watch for in a failing AC adapter
- The laptop does not operate while just using AC power
- Most Sony AC adapters get warm when plugged in for any length of time
- Battery does not charge every time
