Sony VGN-SR490J Power Adapter
When choosing a new adapter, selecting the Sony OEM charger will probably be the safest way to go. The Sony VGN-SR490J AC adapter is responsible for two things, to charge up the main battery and powering the laptop. If you decide to buy an non-Sony adapter, make note of both the voltage and amperage output. A universal AC adapter is a possibility but only if necessary. Because Sony uses one power charger that can be used on other units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter.
Some warnings the Sony power adapter is on its last leg
- Your Sony battery refuses to charge all the time
- The majority of Sony power chargers will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The unit will not function while just using AC power
