Thanks for the replies. But yes, it is hot enough to burn you if
touched (the connection point is anyway).



.... then you need to have the laptop checked out. Checked
for physical failures like capacitors or mechanical
breakage, battery charging, etc.

One good baseline to determine is how much current the
laptop is drawing from the supply and compare against the
rating for the supply. At full output the supply should be
quite hot, but that hot? Probably not, but we don't have
the specs for the original nor the replacement supply for
comparison purposes.
