Laptop power adapter gettinng really hot is it bad?

[froggyboy604]

I notice that Laptop power adapters get very hot is it something to be concerned about?

Depends how hot. From my experience, most of the time after extended use, they're gonna get hot, but I mean if it's like burning your hand or hot enough to melt something, I'd be concerned.

can you bake a egg on it?

I'm with thedudeman. If it's hot after a hour or so, it's nothing to be worried about. Also, make sure you don't over-charge your battery. It can do more bad than good.

Also, maybe try and get a labtop cooler to put underneath your labtop.

It is uncomfortably hot when I touch it. My guest is about 40 ºC / 104 ºF . But, it is not burning hot. It kind of feels like a hair dryer's heat when I'm charging the battery, or doing CPU intensive stuff.

I think I solved the heat problem by using an electric fan to blow air on to the laptop power adapter.

Put it on carpet = No
Put it on while your laptop is on = No, unless you have no/low battery.
Use a fan to cool it = Not really as your laptop will be blowing out hot air and if your in a enclosed room that fan is just going to blow that hot air back on your laptop adapter.
Use a laptop = No, desktops OWN 😀!!.

GL.

It's perfectly normal, it's going to get hot, I would just sit it down somewhere and leave it be. Like said above, they are designed to get hot 🙂

Laptops are far better than desktops 😛

Mine always gets hot after 1+ plus. It seems to get to a certain point and not get hotter then that (thats how it feels anyway)
