Sony VGN-C250N Power Adapter
Due to the fact that one Sony adapter powers multiple other machines, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. Upon choosing a replacement adapter, choosing the Sony brand one is usually going to be the safest choice. The Sony VGN-C250N AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. A universal power adapter is another possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered.
What red flags are there that my charger is dying?
- Most Sony adapters will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- Battery does not charge up every time
- The unit will not function while solely using the AC adapter
