Dsl modems ac adapter gets hot. Should I worry ?
« on: August 30, 2006, 03:43:24 am »
Hi guys. I have Verizon dsl service. The give you a modem / router to use with there service. A few days ago I went to unplug the ac adapter and i noticed it felt pretty hot.

I called Verizon to see if i could get a new one sent but they won't unless it stops functioning.  :banghead: Should I be worried about it getting hot ? ??? I don't want a fire.  :timebomb: Thanks

A lot of adaptors get pretty warm.

Though they really shouldn't be *hot*.

You could always call and say it stopped functioning.

DO NOT TAUNT HAPPY AC ADAPTOR!

IF HAPPY AC ADAPTOR BEGINS TO SMOKE, GET AWAY IMMEDIATELY. SEEK SHELTER AND COVER HEAD.

NO MORE!!
