Sony PCG-FRV Power Adapter
The Sony PCG-FRV power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge the onboard battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. Because Sony has been known to use a single AC adapter that powers multiple other machines, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. If buying off-brand, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. A universal power adapter is a possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered. Upon choosing a replacement adapter, the actual Sony brand is usually going to be the safest choice.
What happens when my power adapter has gone bad?
- The laptop does not operate without the battery installed
- The majority of Sony power chargers can get quite warm when plugged in for any length of time
- Battery does not charge up at all
