Sony PCG-TR5AP Power Adapter
When purchasing a replacement adapter, choosing the Sony brand one will probably be the safest way to go. The Sony PCG-TR5AP power adapter is needed for two reasons, charging the battery and powering the laptop. If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, please check on both the volts and amps outputs. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if you are desperate. Because Sony uses one power charger that can be used on other units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter.
Clues the Sony power adapter is on its last leg
- The unit will not work without the battery installed
- Most Sony AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Battery does not charge up every time
