Hi, today when I turn on my Victus, the power button turns on for 1-3 seconds and then turns off. When the power button glows for 1-3 seconds, the screen's brightness turns on and then dims.

Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.
It sounds like your Victus by HP 15-fb0000 is experiencing a power issue, possibly related to the battery, motherboard, or BIOS settings. Since the power button lights up briefly and the screen dims, let's go through some troubleshooting steps.
1. Perform a Hard Reset
- Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery (if removable).
- Hold the power button for 30 seconds.
- Reconnect the battery and power adapter, then try turning on the laptop.
2. Check for Overheating or Loose Connections
- If your laptop was running hot before shutting down, let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Open the bottom panel (if comfortable) and check for loose RAM or SSD connections.
3. Update BIOS (if possible)
- If the laptop powers on briefly, try accessing BIOS by pressing F10 repeatedly.
- If you can enter BIOS, update it using the latest version from HP’s support page.
4. Test with a Different Charger
- If possible, try using a different HP-compatible charger.
- A faulty charger or power brick could be preventing proper startup.
5. Run HP Hardware Diagnostics
- Restart your laptop and press Esc repeatedly.
- Select F2 for System Diagnostics.
- Run a battery and motherboard test.
Let me know how it goes, and I’ll be happy to assist further!
