Sony VGN-FS850P Power Adapter
When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, choosing the Sony brand one is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. The Sony VGN-FS850P AC 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 most likely used on other laptop models, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. If buying off-brand, make sure to check both the voltage and amperage output. A universal power adapter is a possibility but only if necessary.
Major symptoms your AC adapter is in need of replacing
- The majority of Sony power chargers will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge all the time
- The unit will not work without the battery installed
