    It should; one way to try before you drop $$ for a _Sony specific power supply (assuming you don't have another one handy) is to get a universal power supply (Targus and Kensington both make them) and take it for a spin. If it works, and you don't want to keep the universal power supply - although I can't imagine why not - then just return the universal power supply and pick up a power supply that's specific to the vaio model in question.
