Sony VPCY218FX Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. The Sony VPCY218FX power adapter has two main uses, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if you are desperate. When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, the actual Sony brand is usually going to be the safest choice. Because Sony has been known to use a single AC adapter that can be used on other units, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model.
What are some hints that my Sony AC adapter is about to fail?
- The unit will not work without the battery installed
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge every time
- Most Sony adapters can get quite warm when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
