Have you spilled anything on the laptop ? ( soda etc ) that may cause the keys to stick? Do you use the laptop keyboard while gaming ( excessive pounding may have lessened the life of the keyboard ) If the laptop is under waranty, I would have it replaced.. even if it isnt inder warranty anymore, I would still get a new one.. that would drive me nuts!!
My power brick gets pretty hot also... All I can say is that 90% of the time I use my laptops, they are pllugged in.. and I've had my Gen2 XPS for about 3 years and its going strong.. I just make sure the brick has plenty of air around it and I set it on a hard surface on its side ( more surface area = more air for cooling )
They will most likely send you a replacement keyboard.. You can change it yourself or a tech can do it ( doing it yourself will not void the warranty I believe because it is a user changeable piece )
When you say 'hot' .. that can mean different things to different people... if you can get an actual temperature.. or describe how hot.. like: "It is so hot that it is leaving a burn mark in my carpet"
The only reason I ask this is because the normally run hot, but too hot is bad.. and everyones definition of "too hot" may be different.. I am sure they have a normal operating temperature ..
Just tried to look up the normal operating temperature for the 1330's power adapter, but Dells site seems to be down right now.. if I find it, I'll post it here..

i`ve never spilled anything on it.
i never play games on it as well.
i just bought in march. n its under warranty.
will they give me a new laptop for this problem or they`ll repair it.
if they give me a new laptop , will that be a refurbished one or that will be brand new.
i also keep my brick in an open air n its 65w adapter quite small but it gets very heated. is it normal or i`m facing this only?
anywaz thanx for the help
