Sony VGN-AR Power Adapter
The Sony VGN-AR power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard 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. If buying off-brand, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. Due to the fact that one Sony adapter is probably used on other similar units, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. A universal power adapter is another possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered.
Major indications of a failing AC adapter
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge up at all
- The unit will not function using just the AC power adapter
- Most Sony adapters get warm when plugged in for any length of time
