Sony PCG-K17 Power Adapter
The Sony PCG-K17 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge any and all batteries while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, please check on the output of amps and voltage. Upon choosing a replacement AC adapter, choosing the Sony brand one is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. Because Sony uses one power charger that is probably used on other similar units, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. A universal AC adapter is another possibility but only if necessary.
Red flags to watch for in a bad charger
- Most Sony adapters can get quite warm when plugged in for any length of time
- The laptop does not operate without the battery installed
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge every time
