  • does this happen if you force it to shut down by holding the power button for +10sec, or if you remove and reinsert the battery after power off?

    forcing a shutdown or removing and installing the battery, will ensure that the laptop is indeed shut down and not just halting during the shutdown process.

    if you still have the same issue after this test I would guess your battery is dying, but if not you know that the issue is a software and not a hardware problem…

    anyway, best of luck getting it sorted

    do you have any usb devices, like external hard drives, chargers or similar connected to it? a lot of the laptops allows for usb charging/supply of power even when switched off, and this could be one of the sources for the drainage.

    try disconnecting all USB cables if any are connected and see if the problem disappears?

    never mind, did not see the line about no connected usb cables until after posting
