Sony PCG-FX405 Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. The Sony PCG-FX405 AC adapter provides two functions, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. A universal power adapter is another possibility if you are desperate. Because Sony uses one power charger that is probably used on other similar units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. When purchasing a replacement adapter, selecting the Sony OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go.
Major indications the power charger is in dire need of a replacement
- Most Sony adapters can get quite warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
- Battery does not charge up at all
- The unit will not operate while just using AC power
