Do not sure about your SONY, but on my VAIO PCG-Z505S I have absolutly
not problem with port replicator with and without AC power.

For me SIO chip actually located on Notebook  motherboard and detected
not depending on plugging port replicator.

If I really want to use COM-port I need connect port replicator with=20
db9 connector.
