My Victus by HP Gaming Laptop 15-fa0xxx seems to not be coming on. It keeps showing me the error called 3F0 or a hard drive/disk error. I keep trying to do a check on it through system diagnostics, but it keeps telling me there is not anything connected, despite the fact that I have not tampered with my laptop at all. Can you please assist me with what is going on?

If F2 diagnostics shows there is no disk drive connected it is very likely the HDD or SSD has failed.
Set the bios back to default and see if that helps:
Official instructions to reset specific HP Laptop are here.
After setting bios defaults if the drive is not found then it is defective and needs to be replaced.
