    Hi, i'm new here so forgive me if this question has been answered before.

    I have just purchased a LG S1-P3B3A which so far has handled anything I have thrown at it (FARCRY). However, after charging it for the first time I was extremely surprised at how hot the AC adapter was, almost to the point that i couldn't keep my hand on the sticker on the back of it. Is this normal or is it getting too hot? No other part of the computer seems to get overly hot.

    All AC adapters get very hot. I would expect this to be the norm.

    Its not a problem.
    It should be very hot while the battery is charging. When the battery is 100% charged it will cool down.

    this is common in all AC adapters on almost all electronics.
