HP Victus with Endeavour OS not booting up ( display not even powering on )

General system Newbie

Are you pressing the key repeatedly on startup as it’s booting?

Edit: If this doesn’t work try holding down the shift key and start the computer holding down the shift key as it boots.

22

Lemme try to press it repeatedly, and another doubt should i press F10 holding shift ?

Edit : idk what’s happening but still nothing happens

23

No … just hold down the shift key.

Edit: If trying using the escape key you keep pressing it repeatedly on startup until you see the Bios screen then you enter the Bios settings by pressing F10. Or you can just press F10 repeatedly on start up until it enters the Bios screen.

Tried that out as well, the below could be probable reason ??

26

If it goes straight to grub menu then are able to boot into EndeavourOS? If so then i would run a grub update command and see if that does anything when you reboot after running the command. Windows should be listed in the grub menu as grub is what takes over when you install EndeavourOS.

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
27

Right now, since grub got a problem nothing boots , it’s just a complete black screen

28

Can you switch to a tty using alt F1 or alt F2? Then try doing an update first?

29

Lemme try

Edit : doing all those possibilities

30

Ctrl+Alt+Fn ???

Maybe you have to use ctrl too? I’m not sure? It seems on mine i just use alt f1 or f2? :man_shrugging:

Edit: Mine is a desktop keyboard. :thinking:

Nothing changed, @xircon and @ricklinux everything remains the same :sob:

34

This doesn’t answer the question? Were you able to get into a tty first of all. Then were you able to run an update? Also if so you should have posted the output of the update. Saying nothing changed doesn’t tell us whats going on when you do these things. :wink:

Are you able to boot on the live ISO then and arch-chroot to run an update?

Edit: I think you have to press F9 repeatedly to to the boot menu.

37

Here comes the major problem priority for live usb is low , so it’s not booting up into to , so my first step is to change the priority order in BIOS , but i am unable to access BIOS

38

You don’t need to access the Bios to arch-chroot.

Edit: But you do need to access the boot menu if it isn’t set in the Bios to boot from usb.

@ricklinux i think this could help but disconnecting the disk is the toughest part , idk how i could do that
