That's true, but long press on the power button still works, so you can try that instead then? π

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
so, without this app, it will only be telemetry and ads? π€

no worries! π

No worries, however I cannot see the SATA marking on yours, just the SAS, or perhaps I am blind, changed contact model today..but please double check before ordering.
And yes, Dell does not manufacture hard drives, so it's almost 100% a OEM rebranding.
if however, it is this drive it should support SATA

you can, if you read my edited post, as long as the SATA logo is present on the label of the sas drive
as mentioned in the description of the product
there is cheap controllers as well btw:

lots of cheap electronics for all your needs over there :)
sorry if I misunderstood, but wasn't his drive sas, and he needed to go to sata connections? this does that.
sas hdd => sata controller connetions
the converter is not the culprit, the drive needs a sata logo on the label for it to work the other way, which is mentioned on the sales page.
if the drive had that logo or not is not mentioned as far as I can see
(edit, thought it was OP replying at first, so changed that, and added requirements for the adapter)
Haven't tried it myself, but there is cheap converters available on AliExpress:

Might be worth it to avoid using it as a paperweight?

let's hope it's a software issue, in general it's much cheaper to fix software than hardware π
you can also try using the "sudo halt --poweroff" command.
if it ks software related. that command will force an instant shutdown ignoring all normal shutdown run levels (use with caution if you have open files that need to be saved in advance).
if that command succeeds as well after the battery test, you can be sure the problem lies within the shutdown run level scripts, which should help you narrow it down even more.
