I have yet to experience this problem, but this is usually because the fan is engorged with dust. Open your laptop up, and remove the dust, ideally using a can of compressed air.
Would the barrel plug for the power supply be replaceable? If I had known they had this flimsy of a power adapter and no way to charge via USB I would have bought a different brand. This is a really bad move on Acers part and will be considered in any future purchases.

dont need to disassemble it, on the bottom there is a small hole with the sign of a battery, insert a small paper clip on it, dont use a needle it will damage the button inside.
