Sony VGN-FW230J Power Adapter
The Sony VGN-FW230J power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge up the main battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. When purchasing a replacement charger, the actual Sony brand is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. Because Sony has been known to use a single AC adapter that is probably used on other similar units, be certain you select the correct one for the VGN-FW230J model. If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, make note of both the voltage and amperage output. A universal AC adapter can be used if you absolutely need to.
Signs of a weakening laptop charger
- Battery does not charge up all the time
- Most Sony adapters will get warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The unit will not work while just using AC power
