Hi @Ethan79,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

The issue you're describing with your HP Victus gaming laptop could be related to several factors. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem.

Check the Power Adapter and Cable:

• Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the laptop and the power outlet.
• Try using a different power outlet or a different compatible power adapter if you have one available.

Perform a Hard Reset:

• Disconnect the power adapter and any peripherals connected to the laptop.
• Remove the battery if it's removable.
• Press and hold the power button for about 15-20 seconds to discharge any residual power.
• Reconnect the power adapter (and battery if removed) and try turning on the laptop again.

Inspect the Charger:

• Since you mentioned the charger was cold, it could be a sign that it’s not functioning properly. If you have another compatible charger, try using it to see if the laptop powers on.

Check for Hardware Issues:

• Look for any visible signs of damage to the laptop’s charging port or internal components.
• If you’re comfortable, you might want to check if the internal connections, such as the RAM and SSD, are properly seated.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
