Sony PCG-812 Power Adapter
Because Sony uses one power charger that is most likely used on other laptop models, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. Upon choosing a replacement AC adapter, selecting the Sony OEM charger is the best one to choose. A universal power adapter is another possibility if you are desperate. The Sony PCG-812 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge up the main battery and powering the laptop. If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, make sure to check the output of amps and voltage.
What symptoms are present when the charger really needs to be replaced?
- Most Sony AC adapters can get quite warm when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The unit will not work while just using AC power
- Battery does not charge at all
