It actually gets hot all the time (at 12 volts). Should I just buy a new one?

It sounds like you fried the adapter. I did this about a month ago with one of my adapters. I would buy a new one since this one probably wont work anymore and you don't want to risk starting a fire.

if adapter attached to your scanner made popping sound, felt hot and smells like smoke it means its transformer coil is burning. better change it.

Sounds like it has a short in it. Toss it and buy a new one. They aren't that expensive and it would be safer.

As long as it still works, keep using it. It will stop when it dies. Keep it unplugged to be safe.
