Sony PCG-C1VP Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, make note of the output of amps and voltage. The Sony PCG-C1VP AC adapter has two main uses, to charge any and all batteries and powering the laptop. A universal power adapter can be used if you are desperate. Due to the fact that one Sony adapter is probably used on other similar units, be sure you choose the right one. When choosing a new adapter, the actual Sony brand will probably be the safest way to go.
Red flags of a failing Sony power adapter
- Battery does not charge up completely
- Most Sony adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The unit will not operate without the battery installed
