Sony VPCCA23FX Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, make note of the output of amps and voltage. The Sony VPCCA23FX power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge up the main battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. When choosing a new AC charger, selecting the Sony OEM charger is the best one to choose. A universal power adapter is a possibility but only if necessary. Because Sony has been known to use a single AC adapter that is most likely used on other laptop models, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model.
Subtle cues of a weak laptop charger
- The unit will not function while solely using the AC adapter
- Battery does not charge up every time
- Most Sony adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
