Sony PCG-GR170K Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, please check on both the volts and amps outputs. The Sony PCG-GR170K AC adapter has two main uses, charging the battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. A universal AC adapter is another possibility if you are desperate. Because Sony uses one power charger that can be used on other units, be sure you choose the right one. When purchasing a replacement adapter, selecting the Sony OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go.
Red flags the power charger is on its last leg
- Most Sony adapters will get warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Battery does not charge at all
- The laptop does not work using just the AC power adapter
