Sony VGN-AR840E Power Adapter
When choosing a new charger, selecting the Sony OEM charger will probably be the safest way to go. If buying off-brand, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. 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, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. The Sony VGN-AR840E AC adapter provides two functions, charging the battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop.
What are the signs that the charger is about to go out?
- Battery does not charge whatsoever
- The majority of Sony power chargers will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The unit will not run while just using AC power
