Sony VPCZ12GGX Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, it is imperative to note both the voltage and amperage output. When purchasing a replacement adapter, the actual Sony brand is the best one to choose. A universal power adapter can be used if you absolutely need to. The Sony VPCZ12GGX power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. Because Sony uses one power charger that is probably used on other similar units, make sure you check the part number for the correct one.
Signs of a poorly performing power adapter
- Battery does not charge up whatsoever
- The majority of Sony power chargers will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
- The unit will not operate using just the AC power adapter
