Sony PCG-F701 Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, it is imperative to note both the voltage and amperage output. The Sony PCG-F701 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery and powering the laptop. Upon choosing a replacement adapter, selecting the Sony OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. A universal AC adapter can be used if you absolutely need to. Due to the fact that one Sony adapter powers multiple other machines, be certain you select the correct one for the PCG-F701 model.
Hints of an inadequate laptop charger
- The laptop does not work while solely using the AC adapter
- Most Sony AC adapters can get quite warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
- Battery does not charge all the time
