Sony VGN-AR170G Power Adapter
When purchasing a replacement adapter, the actual Sony brand is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, please check on both the volts and amps outputs. 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. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered. The Sony VGN-AR170G AC adapter has two main uses, to charge up the main battery and to provide a source of power for the unit.
Easy warnings your AC adapter should need replacing
- Battery does not charge up completely
- The majority of Sony power chargers get warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The laptop does not function without the battery installed
