Description

HD wakes up, even when laptop is powered off, resulting in heat and power drain even when shutdown.
Changed the spinning drive to sd drive resulting in lower battery drain, but the laptop is generating heat even when sleeping or being shut down.

ME was cleaned.

Am I alone having this issue?
