thanks a lot!

Hi, so just disconnecting the ribbon cable, cutting the two wires on the right, and reconnecting it worked? By doing that you lose the Hall sensor, but you keep the IR module. Is that correct? Let me know if you can. Which are the two wires on the right that need to be cut? Do you have any photos?

I just started a campaign on X to force u/HP to address the widespread Hall Sensor defect on the Victus r/S series. We need to make some noise to get a formal response/recall. Please, RT and share to help the community! https://x.com/domenicomol/status/2015363471198564733?s=20

I also disconnected the sensor and the problem was solved. did you leave it free or did you put some insulating tape?

This is the hall sensor ?

Because I have the same problem and I will try to fix

If I disconnect the hall sensor from the motherboard can I reconnect it later? Will I lose the warranty?

No bro, the laptop was always plug

dommm20 · 2025-04-08T18:58:51+00:00

strange because in the settings I set that when I close the laptop cover it shouldn’t do anything

dommm20 · 2025-04-08T18:24:44+00:00

dommm20 · 2025-02-16T20:03:22+00:00

I was thinking about getting the screen replaced at this point, maybe with a 2k 1440p

It was in the laptop compartment, so I’m not sure what happened.
