Sony VGN-SZ170P Power Adapter
Because Sony has been known to use a single AC adapter that can be used on other units, be certain you select the correct one for the VGN-SZ170P model. The Sony VGN-SZ170P power adapter is responsible for two things, charging the battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, selecting the Sony OEM charger is the best one to choose. If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, please check on both the voltage and amperage output. A universal power adapter is a possibility but only if necessary.
Key clues to watch for in a bad Sony power adapter
- The unit will not function without the battery installed
- Most Sony adapters will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- Battery does not charge whatsoever
