Sony VGN-CR290E Power Adapter
When choosing a new AC charger, selecting the Sony OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, make sure to check the output of amps and voltage. The Sony VGN-CR290E power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. 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. A universal power adapter can be used if yours is unavailable or backordered.
Red flags the Sony power adapter needs replacing ASAP
- The unit will not operate using just the AC power adapter
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge up at all
- The majority of Sony power chargers will get warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
