Take it back. It sounds to me as if the heat pipe has failed (a complicated heat transfer device). I had the same problem with my HP. I can now only use it with an external fan pad type thing which you shouldn't have to do on a new laptop. Mine is 3+ years old.
Downloading Speedfan (google it) will show what the main core temps are. Running a youtube video with plenty of active video will show your video chip cooking.
I didn't try this : ''Take out the battery, remove main supply, hold power button down for 30 second, put only power supply in do not put battery in, turn laptop on, put the battery in'', what are you thinking?, this won't help to solve problem?
