Sony PCG-NV170 Power Adapter
When purchasing a replacement charger, selecting the Sony OEM charger will probably be the safest way to go. Because Sony uses one power charger that is most likely used on other laptop models, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. A universal AC adapter can be used if you absolutely need to. If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. The Sony PCG-NV170 power adapter has two main uses, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit.
Subtle hints the Sony power adapter needs replacing ASAP
- Battery does not charge at all
- The laptop does not run without the battery installed
- Most Sony AC adapters get warm when plugged in for any length of time
