my x5ausing it on battery, after a few hours there was a slight warmth in one spot on the screen and a little on the bottom.charging it for the first time, I notice a "little" warmth underneath by the plug.is this ok?UPDATE::: The Charger itself is VERY warm. But only the charger.... am I ok? (ive got an RCA multi-head charger, but it only has 300mA, but the chinese one says 9v 1500mA)ALSO---- BEFORE USING AND BEFORE PLUGGING IN........ there is a Strong smell. Almost smells of cigarettes, but with a chemical smell. My Case is attached to the MID and that's where i notice it most. Originally it was in the box too, but not so much. Anyone else experience this?

UPDATE:I unplugged and plugged in on a separate plug (not a filled up bus) and it stayed cool.It took no time to fully charge.I am leaving in overnight to be sure.Later

About amps:You must always use a power supply unit(PSU, charger) with more amps, than the device you're charging can draw.We don't have stickers on the back of our device, so we can't say for sure how much the device needs to charge. However, we can see the original PSU has 1500mA output.If you're using a PSU with less output than your device draws, it will struggle to meet the demand of the device.In this case the poor 300mA PSU is working it's ass of to charge your (1000 mA?) device. And so, it heats up.Heat is bad. The PSU is just insulated copper wound around a core.. Copper insulation melts at high temperatures, and can cause short-circuits which in turn can cause a fire in your house. I'd strongly suggest you only use the original power supply, unless you want to wake up to a warm fire, or a smoldering heap of plastic on the floor/desk/wall.Side note, this works both ways. So if you have a 3000mA DC 9V PSU using it with the HSG will only draw 1500mA and leave us with 1500mA that's not used.The mA ratings on devices, are simply indication what they can draw as max(device), and can output as max(PSU).

thanks Asure.... but no i was using the 1500 supplied one, its the one that got very warm first time. when i unplugged and plugged in a separate wall socket, it was fine.the 300 one i was just considering as an alternative...thanks mate

LOL on your title "Warm Bottom? is it ok? (SMELL)" Got my attention. If the only way I could see if a warm bottom was OK is by smelling it, I would give up my practice.
