Sony VGN-FJ170 Power Adapter
Because Sony uses one power charger that can be used on other units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, make note of the output of amps and voltage. A universal power adapter can be used if you are desperate. The Sony VGN-FJ170 power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge up the main battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. Upon choosing a replacement AC charger, selecting the Sony OEM charger is usually going to be the safest choice.
How can I tell if my AC adapter is on its last leg?
- Battery does not charge all the time
- The laptop does not run while just using AC power
- Most Sony AC adapters will get warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
