I have a 2018 Razer Blade 15, the power adapter began over heating about two weeks ago. I use it for my main computer and when home, I have it hooked up to an external keyboard, and dual monitor. I also use a USB Hub that has 4 things plugged into it. I use the computer for gaming and work. While gaming is when I really see it begin to overheat where it never did before up until two weeks ago.
The Power adapter gets so hot that I have to unplug it for a bit and run it off battery to give it an opportunity to cool off. Today when I got home from work, my laptop was off. I left it on when I left for work. I attempted to turn it back on but it would turn on for a second and then turn off. I unplugged the usb hub and it turned on with no problems.
Is it possible that the hub is drawing to much power? I realize this hub can be hooked to an external power source but didn't bother with it since it worked when I initially set it up without the external power. Or is my power adapter just going bad? I contacted Razer and they think my power adapter is faulty and wants to send me a new one. For the record I've had this setup like this for about 6 months now and never ran into this issue before.
Thanks in advanced!
