Sony VGN-FW486J Power Adapter
The Sony VGN-FW486J AC adapter is responsible for two things, charging the battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. If buying off-brand, make note of the output of amps and voltage. Due to the fact that one Sony adapter is probably used on other similar units, be certain you select the correct one for the VGN-FW486J model. A universal power adapter is another possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered. Upon choosing a replacement adapter, the actual Sony brand will probably be the safest way to go.
Major indications of an ailing Sony power adapter
- The laptop does not work without the battery installed
- Battery does not charge up every time
- The majority of Sony power chargers will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
