Sony VPCEC3DFX Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, please check on the output of amps and voltage. The Sony VPCEC3DFX AC adapter is responsible for two things, to charge up the main battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. A universal AC adapter can be used but only if necessary. Due to the fact that one Sony adapter can be used on other units, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. When choosing a new AC adapter, selecting the Sony OEM charger will probably be the safest way to go.
What are the signs that the power adapter is crapping out?
- Battery does not charge up at all
- Most Sony AC adapters can get quite warm when plugged in for any length of time
- The laptop does not run without the battery installed
