Sony VGN-SZ381P Power Adapter
The Sony VGN-SZ381P AC adapter is responsible for two things, to charge up the main battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. When choosing a new charger, the actual Sony brand will probably be the safest way to go. If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, it is imperative to note both the volts and amps outputs. A universal power adapter can be used if you absolutely need to. Due to the fact that one Sony adapter powers multiple other machines, be sure you choose the right one.
Major symptoms the Sony power adapter is on its last leg
- The laptop does not work without the battery installed
- Most Sony adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Battery does not charge up at all
