Sony VGN-AR500 Power Adapter
The Sony VGN-AR500 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, please check on the output of amps and voltage. When choosing a new adapter, selecting the Sony OEM charger is usually going to be the safest choice. A universal power adapter can be used but only if necessary. Due to the fact that one Sony adapter is most likely used on other laptop models, be sure you choose the right one.
Important hints the Sony power adapter will die soon
- The unit will not operate without the battery installed
- The majority of Sony power chargers get warm when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Battery does not charge up all the time
