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.
That points to firmware rather than hardware. The only way to completely turn off a laptop is to remove the battery. Many systems run a minimal network driver (for netboot and wake on LAN/WLAN). If the network card is removable you could see a) if the card is warm when laptop is “off” and b) if the problem occurs when it is removed. Battery management also runs when the latop is “off”: ASUS Battery Health Charging and ASUS Battery Health Charging Script for Linux.
I’ve tried a lot of things lately but the result is the same, this time I tried limiting it to 80% and although it doesn’t get much hotter than before, it still gets hot.
If I switch to windows, sleep does not work, if I switch to something Linux-based distro (mainly fedora,arch), it heats up when it is off when it is charging, and frankly it is a bit annoying.
This means leaky ACPI and broken BIOS parts. You should revert your BIOS, and read back earlier changes, because seems sleep doesn’t switch on, and leaves the board in full power, and without cooling it will kill in long term your device. It would be useful to provide a dmesg output, but I think there can be some energy setup that can be switched/handled by BIOS.
IF not, then it’s time to bang doors at the manufacturer, that something is gone bad by the last update.
No matter I downgraded or upgraded in bios, nothing changed, also the device can enter sleep mode normally, and it does this warming only when it is DC plugged in and eats charge rather than charging.
this doesn’t happening on windows, i asked about same question on gpt, ai gave me a suggestion: change kernel. Atm i changed kernel to asusctl one and waiting…
