    Just have a new K53SV and after 1 hour use the powersupply get very hot.
    You burn your hands if you hold it :-(
    After 2 hour the power stops working. After cooldown it works again.

    Laptop is just a few days old.

    I got a chance to try the K53SV for a week and never had this problem. I'd return it to the store and get an exchange if I was you.

    Grats on your new purchase, I found the design to be excellent. It's a great bargain too since they're priced at 649$ here in Canada (i5/540m). Now that I own a K53TA, I can't help but miss the design of the SV model - The quality of the material is just so much better.
