Sony VGN-FW246J Power Adapter
When choosing a new AC charger, the actual Sony brand will probably be the safest way to go. If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, it is imperative to note the output of amps and voltage. Because Sony uses one power charger that can be used on other units, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. The Sony VGN-FW246J power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge up the main battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. A universal AC adapter can be used if you absolutely need to.
Red flags your power adapter is not going to last much longer
- Most Sony adapters can get quite warm when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Battery does not charge completely
- The laptop does not run using just the AC power adapter
