Is my laptop's charger getting super hot?
My son wants a laptop so he can play games with his friends. The power brick gets super hot and feels like it will burn my hand if I try to hold it. Is this normal? Here is a picture of the brick. My laptop is a Gigabyte, but the power brick is from the Lite-On brand. That's okay right? It has a 3060 GPU in it, and the laptop model is a G5 with an i5 processor, 16 gigabytes of RAM, and a big hard drive. If we need a new one later, can we get another one that doesn't get so hot?
The link to your picture says "Not Found." You should try checking the URL again. Since I'm talking here, did you buy this adapter when you bought the laptop? Google search shows that a Chicony unit is usually part of the package for this kind of laptop but sometimes Gigabyte will get other brands if they have good deals or parts on hand. So, to help me help more, please add the specific part number (SKU) to your list so I can find it easier for you.
