This is my first thread and I apologize if I’m missing anything.
Although my device is completely turned off, I feel that it heats up after a while and it only does this when the DC Jack is plugged in, there is no heating when I remove it.
When I searched on the internet, I couldn’t find anything that would answer my question, except that I turned on the power management setting in the bios of my laptop, normally when I turn this setting on, it prevents it from going above 1w, but the problem is the same whether I turn it off or not.

Can it be that after you switch the computer off the battery is charging? When it does that during operation, the internal fan would blow out extensive heat, but with the computer off the fan doesn’t work anymore. Just an idea I have.
Before switching it off, check the battery level and write it down down. Let it be off for some time (10 minutes or so) and after switching it on again check the battery level again to see if it is higher than before. If so, that could explain for the heat building up in the device.
Thank you for indulging me, it heats up even though it’s 100% and when I turn it on, my battery usually drops from 100% to 94% and I don’t experience this on any other OS and it’s really frustrating.
Check BIOS options to enable Ethernet, Bluetooth, and wifi. Many systems support wake on LAN or WLAN (used in cubicle farms to install updates at night). Bluetooth may be enabled to support BT pointing devices and keyboards when booting.
I checked everything in the bios and it is the same again and the computer is completely turned off and the computer does not wake up with any device keyboard mouse input.
That indicates a firmware or hardware issue. Such problems often affect multiple instances of a particular model, but can be due to things like spilled liquids damaging a component. A repair shop may be able provide more information — they can use a thermal camera to determine what component is heating up and also measure voltages and currents at various test points , but cost of such work may be more than the system is worth.
