Sony VGN-AR170 Power Adapter
The Sony VGN-AR170 power adapter provides two functions, to charge any and all batteries and to provide a source of power for the unit. When purchasing a replacement adapter, choosing the Sony brand one is the best one to choose. A universal power adapter is another possibility if you absolutely need to. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make sure to check the output of amps and voltage. Because Sony has been known to use a single AC adapter that is probably used on other similar units, make sure you check the part number for the correct one.
What are some hints that my Sony power adapter is about to go out?
- The laptop does not operate without the battery installed
- Battery does not charge whatsoever
- Most Sony adapters get warm when plugged in for any length of time
