10meter . is way too long. sorry. never do that ....
10m means that. why say 10m?
lead = cable. VGA cable. it is.
VGA will not run 10meters ever, and look ok, (i do know how)

Blank screen when the cpu
Try connecting a different monitor to your computer to determine if the video card or monitor is faulty.
If the monitor is faulty then you could have a faulty inverter board or a CCFL lamp that provides the back light.
Replacement inverter board and CCFL lamps for LCD monitors are available from this WEB site.

Monitor stuck in sleep mode
It will do this when it's not getting a video signal from the computer. Make sure that the signal cable is firmly plugged in at both ends. Also verify that the computer is actually starting up. The monitor may not be getting a signal because the computer isn't sending any.
Monitor TFT 5015 now says "going to sleep
Make sure the laptop's external VGA port is turned on. There will be a function key somewhere on the keyboard (location varies by manufacturer and model) that controls the connector. If the connector has gotten turned off the external monitor will go to sleep because it's not getting any input.

Check that the signal cable from the computer is firmly connected and that there are no bent pins in either end. If the trouble continues, the problem is in the monitor itself. Given the low replacement cost, it's uneconomical to try repairing these.
No backlight
You may have a bad regulator or a bad mercury bulb. Testing either requires a professional with the right equipment. This area contains high frequency current. The mercury bulb is extremely delicate and has to be disposed of properly. I would suggest taking this to a pro.
How to stretch screen compaq tft5015
Right click the desktop - select graphic properties - you should have the option to stretch to fit or something like that. This could also be that your resolution doesnt match your monitor. usual wide screen monitor defaults are 1280/1024 or 1400/1068.. have a mess around and alter these - see which one fits.
Sleep mode
There is an On Display Menu (ODM). You can access it by pushing the button located on the monitor. Use +- buttons to navigate in the menu. Here you can switch off the sleep mode or change the sleep settings. I have a simular problem... I try to turn off the power save function but it seems like it dosen´t want to understand this...
