Get a can of compressed air used to clean computers.
Put the nozzle on and spray it in every hole you can see without putting the nozzle itself inside the laptop.
Do this outside with glasses on.
laptops should never be used on soft surfaces eg carpet, beds, cushions, etc. Most newer laptops also have more cooling slots / openings. this leads to a fater build up of gunks inside..
Best option is to buy a GOOD 3 fan notebook cooler.
If you are comforatble opening the laptop then that is a better option for cleaning but if not a good laptop repair shop could do this quite cheaply.
It is a common issue with newer laptops

Just call Dell, don't take it back to Best Buy or anything (that's where I got my Inspiron 1565). They will put you through a couple troubleshooting items and decide whether it's the AC adapter went bad or if they have to replace your motherboard. It's all free since they have a 1yr hardware warranty.
