Sony VGN-FW495J Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, make sure to check the output of amps and voltage. Because Sony uses one power charger that is most likely used on other laptop models, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. Upon choosing a replacement AC adapter, selecting the Sony OEM charger is usually going to be the safest choice. A universal AC adapter is another possibility if you absolutely need to. The Sony VGN-FW495J AC adapter provides two functions, to charge the onboard battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop.
Subtle cues of a barely functioning power adapter
- Battery does not charge every time
- The laptop does not function without the battery installed
- The majority of Sony power chargers get warm when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
