Sega Saturn Question

[ReddMcKnight]

OK, I was playing my Saturn earlier, and when I finished, I picked it up to move it, and I noticed that it was unusually hot under the casing where you plug in the AC Adapter. Is this normal, or a bad thing?

How hot is "unusually hot"? So hot that you had to pull your hand away immediately? Or slightly warmer than the rest of the console? Getting fairly warm certainly isn't unusual as that is where the AC to DC converter is. Was it about as warm as a power transformer for, say, a Genesis after it has been plugged in for a while? The Saturn does all of this internally hence the reason that it only needs an AC plug instead of a giant power brick.
