We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

If your HP Victus 16 laptop is experiencing trouble turning on, or if the screen flickers when it does turn on, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Verify the Power Connection

• Ensure that the AC adapter is connected to the laptop and a working power outlet.
• Check that the power cord is securely connected to both the laptop and the outlet.

2. Perform a Hard Reset

• Disconnect all external devices.
• Unplug the AC adapter.
• For laptops with removable batteries, remove the battery.
• Press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds.
• Reconnect the AC adapter and battery, then try turning on the laptop.

3. Check for Screen Issues

• Adjust the angle of the screen to see if it affects the flickering; this might indicate a loose connection.
• Connect the laptop to an external monitor to determine if the issue is with the laptop screen itself or the graphics card.

4. Update or Rollback Graphics Drivers

• Boot the laptop in Safe Mode and update or rollback the graphics drivers through Device Manager.

5. Perform a BIOS Update

• Check for available BIOS updates (ensure your laptop has sufficient battery before starting this process).
