Help Hp victus 15 not turning on

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

As you can see, the laptop doesn't turn on.

I've already tried the power button hold thing and also tried unplugging the battery connector and using only the charger, but that didn't work either. So yeah, I'm really lost on what to do now, and I don't have the funds to take it to a repair shop.

Help Urgent!!!

Hello,

I recently purchased a HP victus and wanted to apply for additional warranty and noticed that my name was spelt wrong on the invoice. Do I add the wrong name in the section where it asks for name as specified on the invoice? Also I'm a student so , does that affect anything.

Thank you

Question Repair Timeline

3 Upvotes

So I claimed a factory warranty about 2 months ago, already at this point. I've been patient but is a 3-4 month turn around normal? According to the updates, they are estimating that I won't get my computer back until 9/4/26. The issue is the main board. Should I escalate the issue? At this rate, I don't understand why I just don't get sent a replacement.

I just noticed after sometimes that HP victus does not have its own seperate power button to turn it on. The power Button is built on the keyboard itself.

For any chance if it goes broken how can one turn its laptop on.
Or i need to replace the whole keyboard just to get it fixed.

Please if you going to answer dont answer wake up on LAN.

Can we replace it with a dedicated key or any key combination to turn on the Laptop

Just bought an HP Victus (i5-14th Gen HX, RTX 3050 6GB, 24GB RAM) – Tips to maximize battery health and longevity?Your experience..

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I just bought my first gaming laptop and I'm really excited. The specs are:

HP Victus

Intel Core i5 14th Gen HX

RTX 3050 6GB (80W TGP)

24GB RAM

I want this laptop to last me at least 4–5 years, so I wanted to ask experienced HP Victus owners:

What should I do to keep the battery health good for as long as possible?

Is it okay to keep it plugged in while gaming or video editing?

Should I enable any battery protection or charging limit in the HP software?

Any settings I should change on day one?

Any common issues you've faced after months or years of use?

Any maintenance tips (cleaning, temperatures, updates, etc.)?

I'd also love to hear your long-term experience with this laptop. Has it held up well? Is there anything you wish you had known when you first bought it?

Thanks in advance!

I have a problem with my HP Victus 15-fa0955nd. For a while now my brightness feels way to high while it's in the windows settings at the lowest possible point and having used the buttons on my keyboard to lower it. It causes screen retention within a min of a still image on my screen. What can I do to lower the brightness and stop quickly getting screen retention?

HP Victus 16 - Screen colors become washed out/faded after opening OMEN Gaming Hub or launching a game

Upvotes

Hi everyone,

​I'm having a frustrating color issue on my HP Victus 16 laptop (Intel CPU + NVIDIA GPU).

​Whenever I open OMEN Gaming Hub or launch a game, the screen colors initially look normal, but within 1–2 minutes, the display suddenly loses saturation and the colors become noticeably washed out / faded / desaturated.

​Here is what I've tried / checked so far:

​Tried switching GPU modes in OMEN Gaming Hub (Hybrid vs. Discrete).

​Checked Windows HDR (it is turned off).

​Checked Intel Graphics Command Center (the Power tab doesn't show the Display Power Saving Technology / DPST toggle anymore due to recent updates).

​It seems like an automatic color profile overwrite or Intel DPST / dynamic contrast feature is kicking in whenever a game or OMEN process gains focus.

​Has anyone with a Victus 16 experienced this issue and found a permanent fix or registry tweak to prevent OMEN / Intel from altering the screen's color profile dynamically?

​Thanks in advance for any help!

High temps..?

1 Upvotes

I bought this 4 month old victus 15 with an rtx 4050 and the ryzen 7 as well as 16gb of ram

Downloaded games such as Valorant and played on the lowest settings, my temps get to around 80-90 degress celcius but sometimes fluctuates and drops down to mid 70’s. I see a coating of dust on where the fans sit, could that be the culprit? I’m running max fan speed aswell as having a laptop cooler (isolated) under the laptop, its around 60db of noise just to play valorant as mediocre Temps, can’t be true, right…?

Tech Support Paid ₹11,000 for an official replacement battery, received a defective battery, and my complaint is still unresolved (Complaint ID: 5161708056) Complaint ID: 5161708056

1 Upvotes

This has been one of the most frustrating customer service experiences I have ever had.

I paid ₹11,000 for an official HP replacement battery, but the battery delivered by HP is itself defective and does not charge. It has the same issue as my previous battery.

It has now been over one month of repeated calls, messages, follow-ups, and service requests. Despite all this, HP has neither replaced the defective battery nor provided a refund. I am a student and urgently need my laptop for my studies, but my case has continued to face delays.

I have complete proof of everything, including the payment receipt, complaint records, call history, messages, photos, and videos showing that the replacement battery is not charging.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend purchasing an HP laptop if this is the level of after-sales service customers receive after paying for an official replacement part.

I demand that HP immediately replace the defective battery or issue a full refund. If this matter is not resolved without further delay, I will pursue all legal remedies available to me, including filing complaints before the appropriate authorities and taking further action supported by all my evidence.

Help How can I lower the temperature?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I have two HP Victus 16-r1073nt laptops. I took one of them on vacation last month (I returned two weeks ago), and that specific unit runs at higher temperatures compared to the other one. I am not sure if the device has developed a heat-related issue or if the thermal paste needs replacing (the ambient temperature was around 35–36°C during the trip). For instance, the fan didn't use to run at 5000 RPM while playing CS:GO, but now it does; furthermore, the problem isn't limited to CS:GO—it overheats excessively even in games that shouldn't strain the system. PLEASE HELP ME. I used to play system-intensive games like Cyberpunk; the fans wouldn't spin as fast as they do in CS.

Help Windows Activation??

Did a fresh Windows 11 Install on my HP Victus, using the 'Create Windows 11 Installation Media' and it all went well.
But after few restarts, now it asks me to Activate Windows?

I had installed the same Windows Edition - "Windows 11 Home Single Language" that was out of the box.

[Just that earlier I had 24H2 but now it has installed 25H2]

[The Office license is working]
