It's flashes the logo light and makes a weird static noise just after it gets shutdown. It may not be the major issue but I am afraid that it is some problem which may affect the laptop in longterm.

    Hi,
    Am sorry to hear this, this might due to some static energy on the unit OR might be some issue with fan.

    Power Drain test.

    1.  Turn off the laptop.  Unplug all the cables and devices including power cable. 

    Flip the laptop.  On the back of the laptop there will be a tiny hole.  It is called a battery reset hole.  There will be a battery symbol right next to the hole.

    2. You need to insert a paper clip or small pin gently inside the hole and hold it for    30 seconds.  

    3. Plug all the cables back and turn on the computer. check whether the unit is working fine.

    Does this happen when plugged in or while on battery or both?
