my charger for my laptop crapped out. The little light doesn't come on so I'm pretty sure it's not the laptop. I'm pretty pissed. I do freelance for another office at nightand I have stuff to do. its a Sony vgp-ac19v45. What can I do? I was drafting house plans that had a heated 2 car garage.

try going to best buy (sigh I know it sucks) and see if they have one that fits. Chargers cost like $50 or more most of the time.

I'd break out the soldering iron, and go all DIY on its ass.

Got a best buy or such near you? They/ probably have a Sony power supply in stock. Otherwise... have a desktop PC nearby?

Just had the same happen to my wife...found a suitable replacement on Amazon, and Prime had it at my house the next day.

Yea there's one I didn't think they would carry them. The laptop must be 3 years old by now.

Most of the manufacturers don't change the power supplies too much over time. Dell has been using the same style for 8 or 9 years now. I can't imagine Sony changes them that much. IBM/Lenovo are almost all the same for the last 10+ years or so too.

Universal power adapter. Expensive, but available.

I was going to recommend e-bay, but that works too.

I have a samsung laptop and the stupid plug was proprietary for about two years before I could buy a generic charger.
