Sony VGN-FW490Y Power Adapter
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-FW490Y model. If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, make note of the output of amps and voltage. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered. When purchasing a replacement AC charger, the actual Sony brand is usually going to be the safest choice. The Sony VGN-FW490Y power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit.
Major warnings of a poorly performing Sony power adapter
- Most Sony AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge up completely
- The laptop does not work using just the AC power adapter
