Hi everyone, please help me. I bought a victus months ago. At first it didn’t turn on, there was a key combination to make it work. The problem is, I left for work and I didn’t use my pc in this time. Now I need to use it, but I forgot the key combination. I tried everything but the pc looks dead

Hi @Lucrezia21,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
Thanks for sharing the details. Based on your description and the search results, it sounds like your HP Victus laptop might be experiencing a firmware or BIOS-related issue that previously required a special key combination to recover from.
BIOS Recovery Key Combo for HP Victus
- Disconnect the power adapter.
- Press and hold the Windows + B keys simultaneously.
- While holding those keys, press and hold the Power button for about 2–3 seconds.
- Release the Power button but keep holding Windows + B until:
- You hear beeping sounds, or
- A BIOS recovery screen appears
This process attempts to trigger a BIOS recovery mode, which can bring the laptop back to life if it’s stuck in a firmware state.
If That Doesn’t Work:
- Try the same steps but with Windows + V instead of Windows + B.
- Also, try a hard reset:
- Disconnect all external devices and power.
- Hold the power button for 15–20 seconds.
- Reconnect the power and try turning it on again.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
