Sony PCG-FR55R Power Adapter
Because Sony has been known to use a single AC adapter that powers multiple other machines, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. If buying off-brand, please check on both the voltage and amperage output. Upon choosing a replacement AC adapter, choosing the Sony brand one is usually going to be the safest choice. The Sony PCG-FR55R power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. A universal power adapter is a possibility if you absolutely need to.
Key signs of a bad Sony power adapter
- Battery does not charge up all the time
- Most Sony AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The unit will not function while solely using the AC adapter
