    That happens sometimes. And high heat near the power button is also normal during intense gaming.

    This is not normal.

    Your laptop is still under warranty. Call Razer, get a replacement sent to you. They will gladly send you a replacement power adapter to eliminate the liability of electrical fire.

    I heard 2016 version's giving such problems frequetly; looks like it's the same as previous versions but it's out-putting 20W more now, and it doesn't look like it was supposed to pimp that much.
