Sony PCG-GR290 Power Adapter
When choosing a new adapter, the actual Sony brand is usually going to be the safest choice. Due to the fact that one Sony adapter is probably used on other similar units, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. The Sony PCG-GR290 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. A universal AC adapter is a possibility but only if necessary. If buying off-brand, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs.
Important hints your AC adapter is in dire straights
- The unit will not operate while just using AC power
- Most Sony AC adapters can get quite warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
- Battery does not charge up completely
