Your acer adapter will get quite warm but i think from what you have described there is a unnessary load on the adapter does your laptop battery charge and does the laptop work when you have this problem,i think you should get a new adapter before this one causes a fire,and that high pictched whine is caused buy the switching transistor in the adapter being over loaded, do not use your adapter,and do not try to repair it get a new one keep us posted on what happens with the new adapter,you can find them on ebay fairly cheap.
