dimensions and a photo of the charger for the latest Vaio Z series?
My old Vaio G11 was 82.5mm x 36mm x 25.5mm (or in inches 3.25" x 1.5" x 1") and I was hpoing that Sony would keep the same form factor/dimensions (or smaller!).
Also is the input one of those cloverleaf (3 pin) or a figure of eight (2 pin)?

The label on the charger says:
MODEL 45N0261
FRU P/N 45N0262
Lenovo P/N 36200253
It was advertised as X1 charger, but when it arrived I thought it's too small in size, so I googled it. Having done that, I've realised it's actually being sold by Lenovo as a charger for Yoga.
Am I safe to use this charger for my ThinkPad X1 Carbon (3460-CLG)?
My fairly new Lenovo Y410p funtions extremely well when playing a video game, but only when connected to a charger, as soon as I disconnect the charger, my framerate can drop to upto 1/8th of the original framerate. It is always connected to the NVidia Graphics Card, the power plan is always on high performance, and the minimum processor state on battery for the processor power management is 100%. How I can fix it? Am I missing something fairly obvious, or is there a defect with my computer?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've looked at the other threads and tried removing the battery while the laptop is off for 30-40 seconds but it doesn't run because it's not getting power from the charger at all.
The laptop is a couple years old and the hinges on both sides have been pried off (can provide pics) but I never had problems until now - I plug the charger in but it won't charge and even if I pop the battery out it STILL doesn't charge!
One night, I had to set the charger upright in order for it to charge. Today I had to set the bulky and heavy part of the charger higher above the laptop in order for it to charge. Now, how to get this thing to work because proping the charger upright or higher than the laptop isn't working anymore!
I've noticed a couple weeks ago when I was visiting my parents that the adapter emits a beeping sound - notice that I said the adapter NOT the laptop. If I unplug it the beeping sound fades. The beeping sound comes from the adapter and when I unplug the cord going from my laptop to the adapter you can hear the beeping sound fade away from the prongs that conect the adapter to the laptop (not the prongs that plug into the outlet).
Like I said before it doesn't matter if I've plugged it into an outlet with OR without the battery in it, the laptop does not receive any power from the adapter or recharges.
My laptop charger suddenly stopped working. Last night it was still working perfectly normal. I tried using my friend's charger and it charges, so it's not the battery's problem. It's not the problem with 'Plugged in, Not charging' , but actually there is no response when I plug in the charger. Is it the software problem or is it the charger's problem? Is there a way to fix the charger?

But battery charges and program "Thinkpad Power Manager" detects battery and it's charge. Battery is ok (tested on another X200 and works well).
I bought this computer on Jan. 1st and so far I love it, however, a few days ago I noticed that everytime I connect or disconnect my charger the screen goes black for a few seconds. It's not the worse problem however it is extremely annoying! I tried checking both the intel graphics settings and power management settings to see if an adjudtment would work but it has not.

I came across this on eBay: [url]
I know it says that it is a Vaio P charger, but I was wondering if it would also work with the UX. The UX wall charger is rated for 16V 2.2A while this is 10.5V 1.9A. IMO it should work okay since the current does not exceed what the wall charger supplies. Am I correct in making this assumption?
my Vaio NR21M charger has just decided to stop working and Im in the market for a new one. I have spotted loads of cheap chargers on ebay etc, but Im afraid theyll wreck my battery. Have been offered a genuine sony one, but the model number is slightly different,
The original part number is VGP-AC19V28 and Iv been offered a VGP-AC19V14. What is the difference? What does the V number mean? I ca only find VGP-AC19V30 and VGP-AC19V31 on the sony website and there is no compatability chart I can find, and I certainly dont want to buy one thats not going to work on my computer.
I would like to ask about the Lenovo Energy Management software bundled with my Z400. Regarding the Energy Management > Battery > "Optimized Battery Health" in particular. When the battery charges until 60%, does it internally disconnect the charger from my battery? The Power icon in the System Tray says "Plugged in, not charging". Or does the software stops the charging until 60%, and when it lowers the software allows it to recharge again? I'm worried about getting my battery worn out immediately, as I leave my charger plugged in most of the time.

Will running at the higher voltage damage it?
I can barely touch my charger it is so hot, it is one of the new slimmer blocks. It is seriously hot and nowhere near the temperature of my friends Vaio block.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI've had my D630 for over 1,5 years now and having grown tired of lugging the 65W PA-12 adapter to work and back, I'm thinking of buying an extra adapter, so the new one would stay stationary at home and the 65W one at work and on the move, if neccesary.
I know a safe bet would be the 90W PA-10 chunky brick but looking ahead (hint E6400), I'm thinking the E-series 90W flat brick would be a better choice. D and E series chargers voltages/amperages match but will the E series one work reliably?
Both choices can be had for the same money
Having great difficulty trying to find one that will plug into the cigerrette lighter socket in a car. Could really do with one as I spend quite a bit of time on the road, and being able to use the laptop would help kill time (obviously i wouldn't be driving whilst doing this )

my dad just bougth and 6930 and the forgot the charger and i use my 8920 charger? are they compatible?
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy DV2000 has a drscrete graphics so it comes with a 90W charger. I didn't notice the 65W charger is smaller by about 30% until comparing one to my friend's.
don't buy the cheap charger sold on ebay. They are VERY badly made. Louder than the laptop and only works intermittetly. I am waiting for the seller to respond for the return process.
Dell doesn't have this, but are there any good third part solutions. I guess the reason Dell doesn't have it is that the computer demands a rather hefty PSU, but still...
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Latitude E6400 which uses Dell's 90w Charger PA-10 which is a 90w 4.62A and 19.5V.
I have been looking for a second power supply, but before I drop the money on a new one. I also have an old Inspiron which uses a the 130w Dell Charger, it is a 6.7A power supply, and the same 19.5V as my Latitude Charger.
Could I use this charger with my Latitude without causing damage? I am just a little concerned about the Amperage being higher than my current charger.
My battery charger doesn't charge and the blue light isn't turning on.
Is it safe to assume that it is dead?
Are there any tests I can do to verify if that's the case?
I've had it for a year and 3 months, is that the typical life of a battery charger?
Hoping for some insight.
I have a 90w Dell charger that came with my studio XPS 13 (6 cell).
If I was to use this charger on a 3 cell Dell Inspiron Mini 12, can this seriously damage the 3-cell battery, or are the chargers smart enough to know what type of battery they're charging?
I was just wondering if someone could help me solve a power problem with my laptop. I have an old Latitude Cpi laptop which stopped working when the AC charger is plugged in.
If I remove the charger, the laptop boot up without problem, but when I connect it back again it will stop imediately.
The LED on the charger stays on green steadily, so I suppose it's a problem on the motherboard. Removing the battery and using another AC charger didn't help neither.
I own a wonderful 1810TZ, which is a great machine. However, the extremely slow speed at which the battery charges greatly reduces its usefulness for me.
Is it possible to get a faster charger that will not toast my computer and/or me?
Recently, my adapter just stopped working. I went to my local computer service shop, they said that there is a cut in my cable.
So I asked them is there any replacement for it, and they showed me this charger where the Output is 19V, 3.4A (Inputs are similar).
On the back of my laptop, it says the Input is 19V, 4.74A. (I'm sure you guys are too).
So out of my curiosity, will the charger they offered me be compatible with my laptop? As I don't want my laptop to be damaged due to wrong charger.
About three weeks ago, I came in to the machine to begin my day. The machine had been plugged and charging through the night, status=Hibernated. This is my common practice. I immediately noted the Charger light on the hinge was blinking alternately white then three or four quick red blinks rather than the usual steady white when the charger is plugged in.
I interpreted it as some sort of alarm; but after an exhaustive look, running diagnostics, searching DELL website and viewing the User manuals, I cannot find an answer.
· I checked the Windows 7 battery app and the DELL Battery Meter and “Battery Health” showed the battery to be performing normally.
· I went to DELL support and ran the battery diagnostics which were OK.
· The problem is seen always several hours of charging with no activity; and it is intermittent. It has happened several times since the first time. It happened again this morning.
· I made the assumption that the red light was a warning and the battery was failing or in trouble – no.
· Then I thought it might be due to overcharging. If so, shouldn’t the problem be every time I leave it on overnight?
· Note my solution: If I unplug the machine and go on battery power when the red light is blinking and do work on the machine, when the battery goes down 10% or so, the red blinking light stops.
· My machine is otherwise working well.
The probleme is that when i plug the charger into the wall, there is a green light on the charger. As soon I plug the charger into the laptop, nothing is happening (+) plus its flicking off the light on the charger
I tried several DELL charger and it did all the same senario.
I've got a Vostro 1500 and the specs for Dell's charger/adapter can be found here: http://support.dell.com/support/edoc...html/specs.htm
Dell's charger: 90W, 19.5V, 4.62A
Is it ok if I use a 90W, 19.5V, 3.34A charger instead? I'm using it right now, charger getting hot though. What do you think? Is it safe to continue using this charger with lower amp rating?
