Sony VGN-FW490D Power Adapter
Because Sony has been known to use a single AC adapter that powers multiple other machines, be sure you choose the right one. The Sony VGN-FW490D AC adapter is needed for two reasons, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. If buying off-brand, make sure to check both the voltage and amperage output. A universal power adapter is a possibility if you absolutely need to. Upon choosing a replacement AC adapter, the actual Sony brand is the best one to choose.
How can I tell if my AC adapter needs to be replaced?
- The majority of Sony power chargers can get quite warm when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The laptop does not work while solely using the AC adapter
- Battery does not charge up at all
