Sony VGN-SZ300 Power Adapter
Due to the fact that one Sony adapter can be used on other units, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. The Sony VGN-SZ300 power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. A universal power adapter is a possibility if you absolutely need to. Upon choosing a replacement charger, the actual Sony brand is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, it is imperative to note the output of amps and voltage.
Red flags of a poorly performing AC adapter
- Most Sony AC adapters will get warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The unit will not operate while just using AC power
- Battery does not charge every time
