Sony VGN-FW518F Power Adapter
When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, choosing the Sony brand one is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. The Sony VGN-FW518F AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. A universal power adapter can be used but only if necessary. Due to the fact that one Sony adapter powers multiple other machines, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model.
How can I tell if my AC adapter needs to be replaced?
- Battery does not charge whatsoever
- The unit will not operate while just using AC power
- Most Sony adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
