Hi @Olamide22,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
The white light on your laptop screen after shutting down, which disappears when you remove the battery, suggests a possible issue with the battery or the power management system. Here are a few potential causes and solutions.
Battery Issue: The battery might be causing a power leak or short circuit. If removing the battery fixes the issue, the battery could be defective or failing.
- Solution: Try using the laptop with a different battery if possible. If the problem persists with a new battery, the issue may be elsewhere.
Power Management or Charging Circuit Problem: There could be an issue with the laptop’s power management system or charging circuitry.
- Solution: Update your BIOS and drivers to ensure that your laptop's power management software is up to date. Sometimes, a BIOS update can resolve hardware power issues.
Residual Power: Sometimes, residual power can cause unusual behavior.
- Solution: Perform a "hard reset" by shutting down the laptop, removing the battery, and disconnecting the power adapter. Press and hold the power button for about 15-30 seconds to drain any residual power. Then, reconnect the battery and power adapter and start the laptop.
Screen or Backlight Issue: If the screen itself is malfunctioning, it might display unusual light patterns even when the laptop is off.
- Solution: Test the laptop with an external monitor to see if the issue persists. If the external display works fine, the problem may be with the laptop’s screen or backlight.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
