Watts/Wattage(W). You can calculate the Wattage by multiplying
Volts(V) with Amps(A). This information is found on the label on the
underside of the notebook computer.
It is always best to match the wattage of the notebook and the AC
adaptor. An AC adaptor with a higher wattage can be used with a
notebook with a lower wattage rating. However, an AC adaptor with a
lower wattage rating cannot be used with a notebook with a higer
rating. The notebook will be underpowered and may not boot up
properly.

This is normal. Any device that gets hot will require ventilation. Good
ventilation prolongs the life of the device and avoids any accidental
damage.

to the wall socket or AC power supply and switched on and plugged into
the notebook computer. If the light flickers or blinks then check all

types and made by different manufacturers, you can still use one
