I am trying to figure out what can be done to prevent the adapter from over heating.
I had this sort of problem in the Philippines for a TV adapter. Due to the extreme heat of the country and the lack of airflow the ac adapter was overheating and the TV would turn off after a certain amount of time. So I had on of those Gel Cooling Pads for a laptop which I was not using. Mine looked like this. http://www.amazon.com/Heat-Absorbing-Lap… Anyway I wrapped it around the power adapter brick and rubber-banded it on. OF course you might use something else but remember you are dealing with power so be careful.
