Sony VGN-SZ480N Power Adapter
Because Sony has been known to use a single AC adapter that is most likely used on other laptop models, be sure you choose the right one. Upon choosing a replacement adapter, the actual Sony brand will probably be the safest way to go. A universal power adapter can be used if you are desperate. If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, it is imperative to note the output of amps and voltage. The Sony VGN-SZ480N power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit.
Warnings your AC adapter is going to die
- Battery does not charge completely
- Most Sony AC adapters can get quite warm when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The laptop does not function while just using AC power
