    I have noticed that my Asus V6j power brick doesn't really get all that hot. The real litmust test in my book is, is it hot enough to melt something or to light something on fire. If you answer yes, or become injured to the point of foul language trying to determine that answer, you should call Asus and ask for a new one.
