Hi, why does my Asus k555 without battery (removed because it was swollen) turn on on its own whenever I plug the ac adapter without even pressing the ON button? It started to happen after removing the battery I entered the BIOS to check if there's an option to disable this problem but there isn't.
 
The laptop may default to the adapter when the battery is removed and perhaps it even bypasses the power switch.

The result would be what you are seeing.
 


Is this dangerous?
 
Could be a minor issue with the circuit or contact point just below the power button. Can you shut the computer down with the power button and power it back on afterwards?
 


Yes I can.
 


No....it would just be a function of the laptop.
