Sony VGN-SZ680N Power Adapter
Because Sony uses one power charger that is probably used on other similar units, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, it is imperative to note both the voltage and amperage output. When choosing a new adapter, choosing the Sony brand one will probably be the safest way to go. The Sony VGN-SZ680N AC adapter has two main uses, to charge the onboard battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. A universal power adapter is a possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered.
Subtle hints your power adapter will die soon
- Most Sony adapters will get warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The unit will not work while solely using the AC adapter
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge up at all
