I have an origin 15-s labtop with a 180watt charging cable. Whenever I plug it in with the computer running, it seems fine at first, but only after a few minutes of low performance use, the adapter becomes extremely hot to where it burns just to touch it. There is also a slight smell of burning plastic. Despite this overheating, the rest of the power cable is fine and doesn't seem to heat up at all (brick, cable, plug). Also the windows (7) says the adapter isn't charging when it is plugged in sometimes. My labtop is pretty expensive with good specs so I don't want to replace it. Other forums suggest replacing the adapter (which I did with no luck) or the battery. I am suspecting the battery is to blame because I haven't replaced that, but I just want to be sure before I spend more money. Plz tell me anything that might be causing this and how to fix it.
