The one I bought doesn't do that. I'm not sure what to tell you. It sounds like it may have something wrong from the manufacturer, and it should be covered by the warranty.

Hi - I haven't had that problem. I have had that problem with another hp in the past. I would exchange it.

i own one i have never had any issues with the cooling fan, but there might be a defect.if you are setting the laptop on a hard surface and have an issue then there is a problem, but if you are setting it on bed,couch,clothe any no hard surface, that is the problem.check the cooling fan and the vents if they are clogged with dust vacuum all the dust of see if that helps, might have a defective part.

Yeah, I would definitely return it. Have had mine for almost a year running 24/7 on high setting and no problems so far.

I had nothing but problems with TWO of these units; neither one cooled properly. I returned them both to Amazon.

You must wait and the laptop will restart. When your machine restart, you must try turn it off again.

I haven't had a bit of a problem with my computer, The best one I have ever had. Send it to the Mfg and see if they can fix it.I'm sure Amazon can help you with that. Might be a bad bunch.

DO NOT USE THE MUG WARMER- THERE IS A SHORT CIRCUIT THAT COULD START A FIRE AND BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN. Report the problem to Amazon and they will probably send you a replacement without even asking you to return the defective unit. THROW THE DEFECTIVE UNIT IN THE TRASH.

Not HOT, maybe a little warm when it's been plugged in for a while. Sometimes the heat from your computer can transfer over or if it's working too hard it can generate heat. If it's getting really hot then I would see about getting a replacement.

Good morning, I have had mine for only a year and it has not had any problems. However, I had a couple of thoughts that might (or might not!) help. Have you tried a different plug in? There is a safety limit switch that will turn off the machine if it overheats that may have failed. Finally, the heating element may have failed. If you have not done so you may want to contact the people that built it - they are here in the USA so they should be available to help. Good luck, I would really miss mine! Dave

Buy from a different company. This one is not good and the manufacturer is completely unresponsive if you have a problem (which I predict you will).

dont buy this unit , the display on my one keeps turning off after after about one hour and sometimes less, its the front panel display, it has been returned to Jenserve for repair , got it back and it is still doing the same so dont send it there as they did not fix mine, it uses 800 watts when running and gets very hot so turn your central heating off and 140 watts in stand by .

I'm sorry I can't help you, I do not like this machine because it's not sturdy and gets too hot while holding it down, after my first use I stored it away so I have not had to replace anything, had I used it as soon as I bought it I would have sent it back.....quickly!!!!

If "hot" means you touch it and go "Ow! That's going to burn me," then yes, it's a problem. If it's warmer than your old battery that might have had little or no life to it, then the Anker might be OK or it might be overheating. Bottom line... Don't risk fire or damage to the computer (however, it might seriously be time to invest in a newer laptop or some other device). Return the battery and try another and see if you get the same results.
