    well when i charge my battery not only does my fan speed up, heat up, and so does my charger, the brick heats up or w.e it feals like it could set something on fire if left for a long time, should i worry? or is this normal in all laptops? (this is for the charger)

    Well, it will be drawing some extra power to recharge the battery, but even so it shouldn't get hot enough to possibly set a fire. Have you contacted support to see about a replacement charger?
