Need Help-Charger is very HOT
I have a 2 year old compaq Presario (2500). Last night my charger got
extremely HOT. I took it to Comp USA and they told me it was bad and I needed a new one. They sold me a universal AC power adapter by Kensington and it is heating up as well. My question is "What it is causing this and what might be wrong with my computer?" Thanks! PS I am typing this from my work computer |

Since youve got the same problem with 2 different supplies, I'd say your laptop is drawing excessive currrent. Appliance case temps are not normally designed to run hot enough to burn. So replacing the psu again wont solve the problem. NT |

I would say that your laptop or it's battery (have you tried swapping
batts) are drawing too much current from the adapter either by shorting or some additional impedance inline with the charging system of your laptop |
