    Just bought one of these today. Was working an absolute treat, battery lasted for some 3 hours, and plugged it into the charger. Anyway, after about one hour charging, charger seemed to be getting quite hot and went bang (and a smell of burning), at least I think it was the charger.
    Laptop battery specs. are 14.4V and 4.5A
    Charger specs. are 18.5V and 2.7A
    Would I be correct in thinking the charger may be the problem? Laptop still works on remaining battery life.
