asus transformer boling hot HELP!!!

Hi i have a asus laptop and just wanted to ask anyone if there transformer for they laptop gets really hot after running a few hours i have never noticed it before but recently the laptop has been on for a few hours it get super hot like its even hard to hold in your hands im guessing this is not good

has anyone had this problem or is this normal?

 

mine is the same and this thread has been created before, short anwer everyone's brick tend to get quite hot

 

Yeap, all transformers/AC Adapters get ridiculously hot, no matter which brand it is. My Vantec USB HD also gets quite toasty after an hour of usage.

 

I think how much power your computer consumes has a lot to do with it. My old P4's power adapter could give people 3rd burns if they touched it after prolonged use, but my new Core 2 laptop's transformer remains cool to warm to touch even after I leave the laptop on the entire night

 

yeap, mine as well. after about 3 hours its almost too hot to hold.

 

thanks for the info every1

 

It depends on the pattern of usage. Also, systems with a GPU will tend to use more power and make it heat up faster.

It's also sometimes the luck of the draw. Under light use conditions, my V1Jp's dock power brick gets warm, but never gets blistering hot. The travel/normal power brick gets a bit warmer, but only to the degree that it takes holding it for about 15 seconds before it gets uncomfortably hot. Meanwhile, the Z96Js I had before I returned it had a REALLY hot power brick under ANY condition and it didn't take very long for it to happen. They were all Delta power bricks, and except for the dock, they're both 90W (the dock has a 120W power brick which works only on the dock).

I would try another power brick if possible.
