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.

Not HOT, maybe a little warm when it's been plugged in for a while. Sometimes the heat from your computer can transfer over or if it's working too hard it can generate heat. If it's getting really hot then I would see about getting a replacement.

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.

No not all. I have plugged in multiple 0.5A devices into the 2A port on this charger and I have not observed any overheating. I believe that this unit will compensate for devices that have lower amperage ratings which are plugged into the 2A port...

Mine heats up within one min and increases to an intense heat after two nore.

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 without thinking about it and haven't noticed any damage. I would suggest that a hot pad is used to protect it.

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 can't speak specifically from experience with your computer, but mine was shutting down from overheating, and burned to the touch, and now runs cool.

Mine is hot too since I started to use it. I have to unplug it when I don't use it.

I have not had any overheating issues. Sometimes the thunderbolt cable gets warm, though.

This should be fine. I leave mine on for eight hours at a time with no overheating problems.

No. It builds up heat. I was told by my computer man never to leave them on when other computer components are on even if you are not using them.

I don't have a problem with that - although it does heat up rather quickly!

It should not get overly heated. It may be warm to the touch. If you are charging two items at once and the device is very hot, gingerly & lightly touch each of the devices as you would a hot light bulb or kitchen pot. The hottest device is the culprit. Check the design/specifications of this device to ensure it is not exceeding the capabilities of the portable charger. To be safe, you perhaps will have to get a different, more powerful charger($$) for that device, preferably one with a fuse.

Just like any other heating device it will damage a lil bit but you should always use a thermal styling spray to cut down on damage

I agree. They should recall. It is a great device for the minute it works but overheating is a major issue. Don't waste your time buying. ;(
