I purchased an HP Victus Gaming Laptop 15-fb3019no, a 15,6" FHD 144 Hz model from a year ago. Over time, I attempted to clean the fans, but they became extremely dusty and were quite noticeable during gameplay. After opening the laptop, I disassembled it, cleaned the components, and reassembled it. It started working with the fans running, but then it suddenly stopped. Upon reopening, I noticed I had left it out of the CPU fan compartment on the motherboard. Since then, it has not started again, even after trying to adjust the internal settings. On the charging station, it displays a status when charging and flashes a light on the keyboard when the "start up" button is pressed. However, apart from that, it remains completely unresponsive. I attempted to remove the battery, press the start-up button for 60 seconds, and tried accessing the SD drive and rams, but none of these solutions worked.

The next attempt was connecting it to another PC and booting the motherboard, though I am hesitant to risk further damage if possible. If anyone needs images of the motherboard, I can provide them.

Thanks in advance.

None of the listed options have resolved the issue. It's possible that linking the CPU fan to another header could have damaged the motherboard's internal components. You may need to bring the laptop to a professional repair shop to check for a short circuit on the motherboard, as it might be more effective there. The next step could involve connecting it to another PC and booting up the motherboard, though I'm concerned about causing further damage. Please clarify your approach so I can avoid making mistakes. Motherboards typically don't connect directly to other motherboards unless they are specially designed for that purpose.

The idea was to conduct a bios recovery, assuming the problem lay with the bios.

You might need a CH341A BIOS Programming toolkit, though I question if it matches your BIOS chip. You described connecting an unplugged device to a new connector, mistakenly linking it to the wrong port and supplying power to something it shouldn't have received.

Well, I'm not very familiar with technology. My first idea was that the board couldn't be dead, otherwise it wouldn't blink the lights at all? Maybe I'm mistaken about that. It only blinks once, when I press the power turn-on button on the keyboard. It still shows lights even when charged, at the charge port location. But I'm not sure if this happens on a dead motherboard too.
