the device heats up fairly quickly. will that damage the device?

Mine never heated up at all. Some heat won't hurt it if it's slighty warm if it's very hot so it burns you I would stop using it contact Kodak see what they can do for you.

I haven't experienced it, but I'd have to equate it to a wet hot pad - will burn and how! I'd avoid it.

Mine has never has done that. I noticed it gets very hot in use. I would call the manufacturer or check on their support page.

Mine started sending heat immediately, but I don't use it often as it's in my utility room. When I turned it on I feltnheat right away while I stood underneath it.

I have used it for many hours at a time and have never noticed it heating up beyond warm. I do not see overheating as a problem.

Yeah. I've been using it for like 2 years now. It's fast, but it will heat up playing games.

Yes, mine gets fairly warm to the touch. It hasn't caused any issues yet but I have only had it about 6 months.

You will be using the adapter at a current that exceeds its rating. I doubt that you will damage your device. It is more likely that the adapter will burn out or have a shorter life.

Yes. If you check the control unit from time to time you'll see it's sometimes hot and sometimes just a little warm. This is how they work...when they work. You'll be fine!

I have not had any problems yet. But I think the unit is not starting as fast as it did at first. But it is still heating as it should.

I haven't really used it for any length of time and it was some time ago but I don't think overheating is a problem. The biggest problem with R-Pi is that you have to use a good USB power for it and if you plan to use several USB devices you have to get an externally powered USB hub or you will run into problems.

Kind of... it gets really hot while playing, but the solution to this is an boost of the device function by some kind of integrated software which speeds the fan up. Now I'm not sure about its impact in energy consumption, but I have to say it works pretty well.

I use my laptop as a DJ. Under normal use my laptop ran on the warm side anyway. While running as many as four music tracks at once and driving as many as four screens for video it sometimes would overheat and shut down causing an embarrassing situation. After getting the Thermaltake Cool Pad I no longer need worry about overheating. It was a great choice. There was only one problem with it shortly after I got it: The mini USB connection came loose inside and was unble to plug it in. I removed the small circuit board, sent it to Thermaltake and they promptly replaced it free of charge and paid postage back to me. Otherwise, still using without fail 18 months later.

Mine has been running for over a month. It sits in an AV rack system, so I don't see it often. I just checked and it is only warm to the touch.

If the unit is plugged in, and has power, the unit should be hot to the tough.

WE don't have a problem with ours, we just plugged it in and it works.Give it a couple days, seems like it took a few days to heat up it doesn't get hot.

Lucky for you. I only used mine once. It got so hot I was afraid it would damage my phone. Send it back and get a refund. Not worth ruining a phone.
