Sony VPCP118KX Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, make sure to check both the voltage and amperage output. 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. When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, selecting the Sony OEM charger will probably be the safest way to go. The Sony VPCP118KX AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge up the main battery and powering the laptop. A universal AC adapter is another possibility but only if necessary.
Subtle hints the power charger will eventually need to be replaced
- The laptop does not function using just the AC power adapter
- Battery does not charge up every time
- Most Sony AC adapters will get warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
