Sony VPCY118GX Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. The Sony VPCY118GX power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge up the main battery and powering the laptop. Because Sony has been known to use a single AC adapter that is probably used on other similar units, be sure you choose the right one. A universal AC adapter can be used if you are desperate. Upon choosing a replacement charger, choosing the Sony brand one is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go.
Easy warnings your laptop charger has very little life left
- Most Sony adapters will get warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge whatsoever
- The unit will not run without the battery installed
