Hi GNBGNB and welcome.

 

The vgp-ac19v26 sent to you should be OK to use as it is exactly the same voltage (19.5v) as the vgp-ac19v37

 

The only difference is that the vgp-ac19v26 is capable of a higher output wattage than the vgp-ac19v37 (4,7A instead of 3.9A) and so it is usually more expensive to buy.

 

It would be a concern if the replacement was only capable of a lesser output and would not be powerful enough.

 

I think the only disadvantage is probably the price. There may be a slight advantage in recharging time - particularly when the Vaio is in use - but otherwise, little difference.

 

:wink:

Thank you and after all that when I tried to use it it was faulty.
