Sony PCG-V505AX Power Adapter
Because Sony has been known to use a single AC adapter that powers multiple other machines, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. If buying off-brand, please check on both the voltage and amperage output. A universal AC adapter is another possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered. The Sony PCG-V505AX power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge up the main battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. Upon choosing a replacement charger, the actual Sony brand will probably be the safest way to go.
What symptoms are present when the Sony power adapter is failing?
- The laptop does not function while just using AC power
- Most Sony adapters will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- Battery does not charge whatsoever
