hello i have had my blue nc10 for all of 2 days now and so far i am very happy with it. When i got it the battery came charged, now that im charging it for the first time i notice the power brick is very hot and im worried that this might be a problem. i just want to know if this is normal or not. i was expecting it to get a little warm but this seems too much. it is charging the battery though and i dont see any problems so far. also i want to know how long the battery takes to charge. thanks.
Hi Juan
What to you regard as “hot”?
Most power supplies do run pretty hot, as long as it does not burn your hand it is probably still within the normal operating temps.My NC10 power brick is amazing it gets to warm at the most
But the questions is define the term “Hot”
Is it hurt you hand hot?I do not notice mine getting hot at all. But as stated above I guess it really depends on how you define hot.
i realise hot is a very subjective term so let me put it this way. its not warm or very warm, its hot. much hotter than my sisters eee brick, hotter than any other piece of electronic equipment ive ever encountered and while it doesnt exactly hurt my hand to hold, its almost there. in fact i used a small fan pointing at the brick to cool it off. in other words hot enough to cause concern. if all you guys say that your power bricks just run warm then i take it mine is not normal. thats what i want to find out.

[/quote1228614994]TBH that doesn’t sound normal to me. Considering it is under warranty I would give Samsung a call and get that replaced. Mine barely even gets warm. Like there is VERY little difference between the temperature of the brick on or off.

[/quote1228625285]thank you for clarifying this for me, i have already called samsung tech support and their advice was if it was charging allright and i dont smell anything burning or see smoke then it should be fine. in any case i will be observing this closely.
Is it always that hot or only when its recharging the battery? Check the temp on it after your battery is fully charged and its running on ac. I suspect that the temperature will be more normal.
as a matter of fact it only gets hot when its charging the battery. once the charging light turns green, the bricks temp goes down. is this normal?
That’s totally normal. I would say the resistors might generate some more heat than they should. But anyways please try to take the temp if its possible when you’re charging it.
Just out of interest juancarlos, which country are you in?
The difference between your experience and others on here may be due to the supply voltage being different.
