I have a Sony Vaio laptop for about 4 years now, lately (within a month) my laptop charger started make a faint cricket sound (but the charger still works), if I unplug it from the power source for some minutes, the cricket sound (the cricket sounds like tweeting, chirp, bird -like) is slowly gone. And the charger works just fine.Recently my charger stopped working and making the same cricket sound. I thought my charger died. But then I've tried to plug my charger to a power source, and it works fine (no cricket sound), is it okay to use the charger as long as it's not making the weird sound?I know that my charger may need to be replaced, I'm planning to buy a new charger anyway, but I just want to know, is okay to use the charger as long as the charger does not make those sound? Will it affect my laptop? because I really need to use the laptop to get my work done before deadline.
Certain chargers have small speakers in them that make sounds when the charger has somthing wrong with it. Yes, you do need a new charger, but it should be okay to continue to use it as long as the sounds aren't there. I had the same thing happen to me and i used the charger anyway and my computer is fine.
It sounds like a contact is not quite gone but perhaps somewhat loose when attached to your laptop. As long as it's not a cheap-as-chips charger which was hastily made and not safety checked, it shouldn't do any damage to your computer if you at least attempt to plug it in. Ideally though you'd want a better charger, most manufacturer's basic chargers are cheap and never last the lifetime of a laptop - this is coming from someone who's had five company laptops in the last three years and never had a single charger outlast a computer!! A good charger will exhibit: - Auto voltage-switching (so you don't have to use a screwdriver to select a voltage, and accidentally get it wrong) - Meets western (US/Europe, one or the other or both!) safety standards, this kind of thing basically ensures chargers have adequate surge protection, various failsafes in case of an incompatible connection, et cetera. - Are actually in English as opposed to really broken Chinese (a lot of cheap Asian chargers look like this) on the packaging and instruction manual, this is usually a giveaway of a bad charger if the language used is rubbish! I personally got mine from universallaptopchargers .uk after cycling through a few cheap ones on Amazon. One out of three of my old ones worked but eventually overheated so I bit the bullet and grabbed one that was a bit more expensive, and didn't really regret it - I charge my phone and my laptop at the same time now and sometimes leave it at my desk at work so I don't have to remember to lug a phone charger around. If you're not UK-based I *think* they ship internationally, but you may want to e-mail to make completely sure. They may also have some vouchers running around here and there, so you may want to ask around in case there's a discount somewhere. Good luck! Please best-answer me if I've been helpful :-)
