to the extent that i couldn't press down and hold it in the center for more than a couple of seconds, if i remember back to A+ this is due to a faulty battery and not faulty adapter?

I think it's starting to cool a bit but at it's worst it i thought the wires were going to melt. It shouldn't get this hot right?

A quick google and i see answers "this is normal" and other answers "get it serviced" etc..

 

Never had an adapter get so hot I wouldn't be able to rest my hand on it... There have been some faulty adapters produced now and then from different manufacturers, where the wires indeed did melt and a general notice was made to bring it in and have it replaced. Can't remember what model or make of laptop it was.

It "might" be normal, but I would chat up a support technician from the company that made your laptop, just in case.
