Sony VGN-NR398E Power Adapter
When choosing a new charger, choosing the Sony brand one is usually going to be the safest choice. The Sony VGN-NR398E power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge up the main battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. Because Sony has been known to use a single AC adapter that can be used on other units, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. A universal power adapter is a possibility if you are desperate. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make note of both the voltage and amperage output.
Warnings of a barely functioning laptop charger
