    System is running but screen is black, not light.
    Connect Laptop to another monitor, everything looks working fine, but not from the laptop screen.
    Please, anyone available to help

    I think the R519 is new enough to use LED backlighting which is usually very reliable. So it is probably the cable connecting the mainboard to the display. Sometimes they work loose at the connector at one end. However, you can look closely at the display under good lighting when the computer is on to see if there is any hint of anything on the screen. If so, this suggests a backlight problem.
