Sony VGN-FW Power Adapter
If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, please check on both the volts and amps outputs. The Sony VGN-FW power adapter provides two functions, to charge up the main battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. Upon choosing a replacement adapter, choosing the Sony brand one is usually going to be the safest choice. Because Sony has been known to use a single AC adapter that is probably used on other similar units, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. A universal AC adapter can be used if yours is unavailable or backordered.
Red flags your power adapter is dying
- The laptop does not function without the battery installed
- Battery does not charge up whatsoever
- Most Sony adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
