Sony PCG-R505 Power Adapter
When choosing a new AC charger, selecting the Sony OEM charger will probably be the safest way to go. If buying off-brand, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. A universal AC adapter can be used but only if necessary. The Sony PCG-R505 power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge the onboard battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. Due to the fact that one Sony adapter is most likely used on other laptop models, be certain you select the correct one for the PCG-R505 model.
Symptoms of a defective AC adapter
- The majority of Sony power chargers can get quite warm when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge every time
- The laptop does not operate while just using AC power
