@DavidAlvarez17, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your laptop! 

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

The issue you're describing—where your HP Victus laptop does not turn on, the LED near the charger port blinks three times, and the charging indicator does not light up—suggests a potential power or motherboard issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

Perform a Hard Reset

1. Disconnect the charger from the laptop.
2. Remove any external devices (USB drives, peripherals, etc.).
3. Press and hold the power button for 30–60 seconds to drain residual power.
4. Reconnect the charger and try turning on the laptop.

Check for Charger and Battery Issues

• Test with another compatible HP charger (if available) to rule out a faulty adapter.
• Inspect the charging port for dust, debris, or physical damage.
• If you can remove the battery, try turning on the laptop with just the charger plugged in (for models with removable batteries).

Identify the Blink Code (3 Blinks)

On HP laptops, a blinking power LED often indicates a hardware failure.

• 3 blinks usually point to a battery or power issue.
• If the battery is removable, try turning on the laptop without it.
• If the battery is non-removable, it could be a motherboard or power circuit issue.

Perform a BIOS Reset

1. Turn off the laptop and disconnect all power sources.
2. Press and hold Windows + B, then press and hold the Power button for 2-3 seconds.
3. Release all buttons and wait. If the BIOS recovery screen appears, follow the on-screen instructions.  

Let me know how it goes!

Take care, and have an amazing day!
