    Ok so obviously this isn't a big deal, heck this isn't a small deal, its just annoying so I thought id post and ask about it. My family owns three identical HP Envy m6's from BestBuy. I know for a fact that how the charging light should act is: Charging (not full): Amber, Charging (full): White. However my laptops charging light is always Amber when charging...it never makes the change to White even when its been charging all night, and when turned on is at 100% charge. I have swapped the battery with one of the other m6's and it didn't change anything, I also used the other m6's charger and it didn't change anything.
    To be clear, something even more odd, the moment I turn on the laptop (so its off, plugged in for hours, obviously fully charged but the light is amber), the light instantly turns white, indicating its fully charged. So this problem is only happening when the laptop is off. When the laptop is on and being charged (less than 90%) the lights amber, when it gets to 90% it turns white.

    I HIGHLY doubt theres anything I can personally do to change this but I thought id put this out there.
