    Well I'm a laptop newbie but just now, I touched the adapter. The base of it (the thickest part) seems to be extremely hot. I don't think I've had it plugged in for more than an hour. I am using it while it is charging if that means anything. Should I be worried at all or is this normal?

    Thanks in advanced

    My power adapter for my e1505 gets quite hot also. Never had a problem with it though.
