Sony PCG-GRT160 Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, it is imperative to note both the voltage and amperage output. Because Sony uses one power charger that can be used on other units, be sure you choose the right one. Upon choosing a replacement charger, choosing the Sony brand one is usually going to be the safest choice. The Sony PCG-GRT160 AC adapter is responsible for two things, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. A universal AC adapter can be used if you absolutely need to.
Clues of a deteriorating power adapter
- The laptop does not run without the battery installed
- Most Sony AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge up all the time
