Sony PCG-Z1RA Power Adapter
Because Sony has been known to use a single AC adapter that powers multiple other machines, 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. Upon choosing a replacement charger, the actual Sony brand is usually going to be the safest choice. The Sony PCG-Z1RA power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge up the main battery and powering the laptop. A universal AC adapter is another possibility but only if necessary.
