Sony PCG-V505DC1 Power Adapter
When choosing a new charger, the actual Sony brand is the best one to choose. Because Sony uses one power charger that is probably used on other similar units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. If buying off-brand, it is imperative to note both the voltage and amperage output. The Sony PCG-V505DC1 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery and powering the laptop. A universal power adapter is another possibility but only if necessary.
Major symptoms of an unhealthy Sony power adapter
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge up completely
- The majority of Sony power chargers will get warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The laptop does not operate using just the AC power adapter
