HP Recommended

Hey everyone,

I'm facing a issue with my HP Victus 16 (about 2 years old) and wanted to check if anyone else has experienced something similar.

Randomly, the laptop screen starts flickering and at the same time the keyboard backlight also flickers. During this period, the laptop becomes almost unusable. Sometimes the display flashes repeatedly, the keyboard lights blink, and the system either freezes temporarily or becomes very difficult to use.

For those who have faced this:

What was the actual root cause?

Was it the display cable, GPU, motherboard, EC controller, or something else?

Did HP identify the problem?

How much did the repair cost if it was out of warranty?

Any suggestions on troubleshooting before I take it to a service center would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
