Sony VGN-SZ480 Power Adapter
The Sony VGN-SZ480 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. Upon choosing a replacement adapter, the actual Sony brand is usually going to be the safest choice. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. Because Sony has been known to use a single AC adapter that can be used on other units, be sure you choose the right one. A universal power adapter is a possibility but only if necessary.
Key symptoms of an ineffective power adapter
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge up every time
- The laptop does not run while solely using the AC adapter
- The majority of Sony power chargers will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
