Sony VPCZ12 Power Adapter
If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, it is imperative to note both the volts and amps outputs. Because Sony uses one power charger that is most likely used on other laptop models, be sure you choose the right one. A universal AC adapter is another possibility but only if necessary. When purchasing a replacement adapter, selecting the Sony OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. The Sony VPCZ12 power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge any and all batteries and to provide a source of power for the unit.
Symptoms of a defective laptop charger
- Most Sony AC adapters get warm when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Battery does not charge up whatsoever
- The unit will not function using just the AC power adapter
