Sony VGN-AW180Y Power Adapter
If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make sure to check the output of amps and voltage. Upon choosing a replacement charger, the actual Sony brand will probably be the safest way to go. Due to the fact that one Sony adapter powers multiple other machines, be sure you choose the right one. A universal AC adapter can be used but only if necessary. The Sony VGN-AW180Y power adapter is responsible for two things, charging the battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop.
What signals that my AC adapter is about to fail?
- The laptop does not run using just the AC power adapter
- Battery does not charge at all
- Most Sony AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
