Sony VGN-AR290G Power Adapter
If buying off-brand, make sure to check the output of amps and voltage. Because Sony has been known to use a single AC adapter that is most likely used on other laptop models, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, selecting the Sony OEM charger is usually going to be the safest choice. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if you are desperate. The Sony VGN-AR290G AC adapter is responsible for two things, to charge any and all batteries and to provide a source of power for the unit.
Major indications of an ineffective charger
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge up whatsoever
- The laptop does not function without the battery installed
- Most Sony AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
