Sony VGN-N385E Power Adapter
The Sony VGN-N385E power adapter is responsible for two things, charging the battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. Because Sony uses one power charger that powers multiple other machines, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. When choosing a new AC charger, choosing the Sony brand one will probably be the safest way to go. If buying off-brand, make sure to check the output of amps and voltage. A universal AC adapter is another possibility but only if necessary.
Major signs the power charger is failing
- The laptop does not run using just the AC power adapter
- Most Sony adapters get warm when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Battery does not charge up every time
