Sony VGN-SZ160P Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, make note of both the voltage and amperage output. When purchasing a replacement adapter, selecting the Sony OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. A universal AC adapter is another possibility if you are desperate. The Sony VGN-SZ160P power adapter is needed for two reasons, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. Because Sony uses one power charger that powers multiple other machines, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter.
Simple indications of an unhealthy Sony power adapter
- The laptop does not run using just the AC power adapter
- Battery does not charge up all the time
- Most Sony AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
