Sony VPCSA3AGX Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, please check on both the voltage and amperage output. When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, the actual Sony brand is usually going to be the safest choice. A universal AC adapter is another possibility if you are desperate. Because Sony has been known to use a single AC adapter that is most likely used on other laptop models, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. The Sony VPCSA3AGX power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop.
Major signs of a bad Sony power adapter
- Most Sony adapters will get warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The laptop does not run while just using AC power
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge up all the time
