Sony PCG-C1VPK Power Adapter
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. The Sony PCG-C1VPK AC adapter has two main uses, to charge the onboard battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. A universal power adapter is another possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered. If buying off-brand, it is imperative to note both the voltage and amperage output. When choosing a new adapter, the actual Sony brand will probably be the safest way to go.
Simple signals the Sony power adapter has to be replaced
- Most Sony AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
- The laptop does not work while just using AC power
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge every time
