Sony PCG-505F Power Adapter
When choosing a new adapter, selecting the Sony OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. The Sony PCG-505F power adapter is responsible for two things, charging the battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make note of the output of amps and voltage. A universal AC adapter is another possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered. Because Sony has been known to use a single AC adapter that can be used on other units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter.
Easy warnings of a poorly performing charger
- Most Sony adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge whatsoever
- The unit will not run while just using AC power
