Using Indian Laptop in UK...adapter getting extremely heated...???

Hi

I am using 3212NWXMi Acer Laptop which i had purchased in India. The indian plugs are round shaped. But the sockets in UK require square pins. So i purchased one adapter through which i can plug indian round pins into sockets

of UK for powering my laptop.

PROBLEM: The laptop power adapter is becoming extremely hot within 20-30 minutes of connecting it to power source.

I fear that my laptop motherboard might burn due to high power.

I am not a technical guy and does not understand what is ampere watt volt...I am mentioning the following specifications:

------------------------------------------------------
My laptop

On the plug that goes into power socket:
6A 250V

On the power wire/coil:
2.5A 250V

on AC ADAPTER:
Model: SADP-65KB D
Input: 100-240V~1.5A (1.5A) 50-60Hz
Output: 19V --- 3.42A (3.42A)
----------------------------------------------------------

Conversion Adapter I am using:

I am using an adapter which allows plugging in round pins into uk sockets:

Its written on the adapter:
250V
2200 W
10A Max
------------------------------------------------------------

Plz say me why my laptop adapter is becoming so hot and what should i do...????

Thanks for ur time in reading my long post and possibly helping.

Sunandogosh,

There is no need to worry about your adapter getting over-heated. Just amke sure that you the adapter is not plugged in 24X7 i.e., make sure your laptop runs on battery for a while. It is common for laptop adapters to get heated up, so there is nothing to worry about.

Cheers.

Well..for the problem of overheating...u can try placing your laptop on a hard surface(like on a top of a table without any cloth on it).the reason being tat ..the vents at the bottom of your laptop get blocked if u use a cloth beneath it...
