Sony PCG-FX290 Power Adapter
The Sony PCG-FX290 power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge any and all batteries and to provide a source of power for the unit. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, please check on both the voltage and amperage output. When choosing a new charger, the actual Sony brand will probably be the safest way to go. A universal AC adapter can be used if yours is unavailable or backordered. Because Sony uses one power charger that is most likely used on other laptop models, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model.
What to see if the Sony power adapter is almost dead?
- The laptop does not work without the battery installed
- Battery does not charge up at all
- The majority of Sony power chargers can get quite warm when they are plugged in for a period of time

A Sony PCG-FX290 power adapter should really be bought new for a variety of reasons, including wear and tear on any old one. Try to always get computer parts from a site you know if you purchase through a website. Always make sure to check and double-check the OEM part number before placing an order for a new power adapter. Your Sony laptop will thank you for buying the right part!
