So there's a capacitor on my laptop's board near the CPU VRMs and chokes that gets extremely hot. It's a solid state capacitor so there's no chance of leakage or exploding, but it's hot to the point where it'll burn your hand from touching it for more than a second or so at a time. It's rated for 25 volts, is there a chance it could be exceeding that? Should I put a small heatsink on it? If it matters the markings on it are EAX36, below that C27, below that 25v. Any help would be appreciated!

It's not a big concern for humans with these capacitors—they can handle high temperatures for many years. The voltage isn't a problem either. Usually, 25V is far beyond what the system would encounter.
