Because it has parts called capacitors that act like batteries. When you unplug a device they are still charged up a little, so to fully reset the device all the power should drain out. So leave it unplugged for a little while (I tend to hit the power button a few times while it’s off to try and drain it faster too) before plugging it back in.
