There's a slight bumpy curve on top of the charger brick of my Predator 16-71 should I be worried?

Hi! I recently bought Predator PHN16-71 i9-13900HX, 32GB RAM, RTX 4070 140W variant and it comes with Chicony charger brick. after 2-3 days of use I noticed that there's a slight bumpy curve on top of the charger brick... it's not noticable and it looks normal when you look at it unless you put your hand top of the charger and feel it. I'm worried that it's some sort of beginning stage of charger brick swelling. Should I replace my charger before it got worse or it's normal?

Contact Acer Support in your country and tell them what is happening with your brand-new adapter charger, as they should replace the adapter charger with a new one. First check if this adapter gets really hot at that specific spot that could cause the outer case to heat up and swell like that or is it just a faulty factory manufacturing process.

These are all the Predator pHN16-71 adapters that Acer provides with different model specs of this laptop. The Predator PHN16-71 i9-13900HX came with the Chicony 330W adapter. Good luck.
