Sony VGN-TZ285N Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, it is imperative to note both the voltage and amperage output. The Sony VGN-TZ285N AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge any and all batteries and to provide a source of power for the unit. A universal AC adapter can be used but only if necessary. Because Sony uses one power charger that is most likely used on other laptop models, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, selecting the Sony OEM charger is usually going to be the safest choice.
Signs your laptop charger needs replacing ASAP
- The laptop does not operate while just using AC power
- Most Sony adapters get warm when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Battery does not charge up all the time
