Apologies if this is not strictly a DIY question. I cannot think of better forum to ask.

I recently bought a cheap and cheerful LCD TV for our camper van. It can run off 12 volt DC or 240
AC, with a supplied transformer. The transformer looks like the type you get with a laptop - a
separate oblong black box.

When working from the mains the transformer gets hot - very hot. Last night we watched 2 hours of
telly and when time came to put it all away I could hardly pick the transformer up. It was almost
too hot to hold.

I am worried about a potential fire risk.
Is this normal? How hot do they normally get?


Thanks - Adam
