    Hey guys, so recently I've been having some problems with charging my laptop (vpcsa35gx) with the ac adapter. The first problem I've noticed is that after I leave my laptop alone and not connected to the adapter, it won't charge the first time I try to plug it in (the orange charging light didn't come up), only worked after subsequent tries. The laptop charges when I turn it on. Another problem is that when I play a game like League of Legends, instead of slowly charging the battery when the laptop is in use, it loses the charge, which I have never experienced before. Are there any solutions to which I can fix these problems? Thanks.

    I've checked esupport for sony products, and the current bios version is R2087H4, which I already have, so I don't think that's the problem. Thanks for trying though.
