Sony VGN-CS290 Power Adapter
Because Sony uses one power charger that is probably used on other similar units, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. Upon choosing a replacement adapter, the actual Sony brand is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. The Sony VGN-CS290 power adapter is responsible for two things, 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. If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, it is imperative to note both the voltage and amperage output.
Major indications of an ineffective laptop charger
- The unit will not run without the battery installed
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge up completely
- Most Sony adapters can get quite warm when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
