Sony VPCF12GFX Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. The Sony VPCF12GFX AC adapter is needed for two reasons, charging the battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. When choosing a new charger, choosing the Sony brand one is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. A universal AC adapter is another possibility if you are desperate. Because Sony has been known to use a single AC adapter that is most likely used on other laptop models, make sure you check the part number for the correct one.
Hints of a faulty AC adapter
- The unit will not run while solely using the AC adapter
- Most Sony AC adapters can get quite warm when plugged in for any length of time
- Battery does not charge up all the time
