Sony VGN-S380 Power Adapter
If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. Because Sony uses one power charger that powers multiple other machines, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. Upon choosing a replacement AC adapter, selecting the Sony OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. The Sony VGN-S380 AC adapter is responsible for two things, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. A universal power adapter is another possibility but only if necessary.
Simple indications of a poorly performing charger
- The unit will not operate while just using AC power
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge up completely
- Most Sony adapters can get quite warm when they are plugged in for a period of time

Your Sony laptop will love you more for thinking before buying. Try to always order replacement parts from a known seller if you purchase through a website. It is in your best interest to make note of the part number so that you correctly order the right power adapter.
