Hi @Anesi1,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand you are facing an issue with your HP Victus laptop is blinking a white light when I try turning it on. 

The blinking white light on your HP Victus laptop likely indicates an issue that needs to be resolved. Here's a list of common causes and troubleshooting steps you can follow:

Power Supply Issues:

• Check the Power Adapter: Ensure your power adapter is properly connected and functioning. Try using a different power adapter if available.
• Battery Issues: If the battery is removable, try taking it out and holding the power button for 15-20 seconds. Then, plug the power adapter back in and try to turn on the laptop without the battery.

Hardware Issues:

• Loose Connections: Open the back of the laptop (if you're comfortable doing so) and check for any loose connections or components, such as the RAM or hard drive.
• RAM Issues: Remove and reinsert the RAM. If you have more than one stick of RAM, try booting with each one individually to see if one is faulty.

Diagnostic LEDs:

• The blinking light can also be a diagnostic indicator. HP laptops often use a specific pattern of blinks to indicate particular issues. Count the number of blinks and refer to the HP support website or your laptop's manual for the meaning of the blink code.

Reset the Laptop:

• Perform a hard reset by disconnecting all external devices, removing the power cord and battery (if possible), and holding the power button for 15-20 seconds. Then reconnect the power adapter and try to power it on again.

BIOS Issues:

• BIOS Reset: Try resetting the BIOS by removing the battery (if removable) and pressing the power button for 15-20 seconds, then reinserting the battery and powering on the laptop.
• BIOS Recovery: Some HP laptops have a BIOS recovery feature. Refer to the HP support documentation for steps to recover the BIOS.
