Sony VGN-X505ZP Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. Due to the fact that one Sony adapter is most likely used on other laptop models, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. The Sony VGN-X505ZP AC adapter has two main uses, charging the battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. When choosing a new charger, the actual Sony brand is usually going to be the safest choice. A universal AC adapter is a possibility but only if necessary.
What red flags are there that my Sony AC adapter is about to fail?
- The majority of Sony power chargers will get warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Battery does not charge every time
- The laptop does not operate while just using AC power
