Laptop sparking when plugged in

I have a Lenovo ideapad 3-15ITL6 Laptop I bought in February 2022. I was using it to stream last night and some today, so it's been plugged in since yesterday afternoon.
Switched to normal TV to watch the news and noticed the laptop had went off, I went over to turn it back on and got some sparking and popping between the keyboard and screen area (see pic in below post).
I immediately unplugged it, then plugged it back in, same thing. Unplugged it again then plugged in again and it was fine, charging as normal. Obviously, I unplugged in, laptop seems to be functional otherwise.
Any ideas on what could be shorting out?

Sparking was coming from this area.
Not super hot, no kind of burning smell

Sparks are obviously fricking bad, so yeah, try to leave it off until you’ve diagnosed it. How comfortable are you opening it up? Based on your description, this looks like it should be a teardown of what you have: LINK
Open it up, take pictures, report back.
