Sony VGN-B1XP 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, choosing the Sony brand one is usually going to be the safest choice. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if you are desperate. The Sony VGN-B1XP AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. Due to the fact that one Sony adapter powers multiple other machines, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter.
What to see if the power adapter really needs to be replaced?
- Battery does not charge up every time
- Most Sony adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
- The laptop does not function without the battery installed
