    After one Week with my 770z5e-S01DE Samsung Series 7, i noticed that my power supply is getting very hot !
    I can touch it and hold it in my Hand, but it is really really hot.

    Laptop charging is really quick. After 1hour charging my battery is on 95%

    Is this normal, or is it an damaged Powersupply?
    I also noticed that there is no Samsung Logo on the powersupply

    I suspect it is normal. Manufacturers have tried to make the PSUs smaller and, as a result, they tend to be hotter due to reduced space between the internal electronics and the exterior plastic. Charging (or heavy gaming) probably runs the PSU at close to its full power rating. Does it run cooler once the battery is charged and you are doing less demanding tasks such as web browsing?

    As for the lack of any logo, is there a Samsung part number (eg AD-????) on the label on the bottom?
