Hello I was trying to figure out what does it mean when the light next to the hole in which I plug the laptop charger changes the light colors, sometimes is white and sometimes is orange, The laptop did not come with a physical user manual and I couldnt find the info about the light in the one I found online.
the laptop model is a "HP 15-bs015dx"
The reason why im currently trying to figure out why is for two reasons that may or may not be connected sometimes when the battery is at a certain level the laptop will shutdown but It wont shutdown like a laptop who is low in battery shut downs it just straight turns off like if you removed the battery or pressed the power button for five seconds or more
The other reason is because sometimes when the laptop is being charge the battery icon goes from "its being charge" to as if it wasnt.
This is the reason why I am looking to figure out why the laptop light changes as when the laptop icon shows itself as being charge the light icon is orange however when its not and the battery icon just shows itself normally as if it wasnt (with the charged very obviously pluged in) the light goes from orange to white.
I cant entirely tell the origin of these problems as the two of them may be or may not be connected and there are a lot of things that could be the reason for them to happen, im currently planning on restoring Windows (Windows10) and see if it has any problem
anyhow what I definelty need to know is what each color of the light means so please even if you have some questions please do answer what each one of them mean.

Just to make a few things clear: I am not sure of the current state of the charger is it working perfectly is it not? I dont know but it happens regardless of in which house plug is pluged in
the laptop only turns off when its low on battery but it does it before it hits the actual low level of battery of 15-18%
the laptop hasnt fallen or gotten wet
all drivers seem to be up to date
