Charging problem with new VGN-FZ21Z

Sad that my first post is a problem but hey.... :slight_smile:

Anyway, I picked up a new FZ21Z on Thursday and all seemed to be fine until yesterday when the charger seemed to just stop charging {green light went off and it got very hot}. Plugged it into my friends Vaio and it did the same thing.

Today it has been doing it all day long until about an hour ago when I pulled the battery and now the charger seems to be working and is not getting too hot. So I was wondering if anyone else has had these problems and whether anyone thinks that it is the charger or battery or both that could be at fault?

Apart from that though I love this laptop :slight_smile:

Well they didn't really have much to offer in the way of troubleshooting steps, luckily I had a friend with the same laptop who let me borrow their charger.

CoD4 is a game lol, Call of Duty 4. I ran it as it pushes the computer quite hard and makes it use more power and hence draw more current from the charger.

I hope that the new battery solves your problem, it's such a pain when these things go wrong.
