Sony VGN-A170B 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 you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, make sure to check both the voltage and amperage output. Upon choosing a replacement adapter, the actual Sony brand is usually going to be the safest choice. A universal power adapter is a possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered. The Sony VGN-A170B AC adapter is responsible for two things, to charge any and all batteries while simultaneously providing power for the laptop.
Clues to watch for to know your power adapter will need to be replaced
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge whatsoever
- The laptop does not work while just using AC power
- Most Sony AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
