So I want to use and external HDMI display with my TF700 while docked and the lid closed. I need it docked because I need a USB port. The problem is that the display turns off when I close the lid and I can not find the setting to turn that off. I searched and only found 1 other unanswered post like this for the TF101.
Any suggestions appreciated.

I received my Asus mobile dock (TF-500-Dock-GR) yesterday and have been trying to figure this one out all day.
Every time i attach the tablet to the mobile dock the screen goes blank. The power button and the keyboard are unresponsive and i cannot turn on the screen to unlock and use it.
Once the tablet is removed from the dock the screen becomes active again. I can use the tablet but a major reason for purchasing this was the use of the dock.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Why hallo thare Infinity peeps!
I have started to use my Infinity to charge my Gnote at school and I just noticed that when I turn of the screen/lower the pad to the dock, it stops charging the phone. I guess this is some kind of powersaver feature and I cant find a way to turn it off, anyone know how??
The dock is only on when the tablet is. No other way around it.
argh, that sux.. :/ No way of charging from the HDMI port?
Not to my knowledge, no.
While I'm sure it's true you can't charge with the tablet off, you might be able to turn the screen off without turning the tab off, at least save some power. I'd explore tasker for that if I were you. Might have to get creative, but I'm sure it's possible to find some sort of compromise.
For example, you might create a scene with a button to trigger 1) mute the volume 2) play an mp3 on a loop 3) turn the display off.
How do I disable the automatic screen lock when the screen is flipped down while the tf101 is in the dock?
I want to use hdmi with my tablet, but when I try to unlock it with the screen down it automatically re locks again.
I would like to watch movies with my tablet on the dock with the lid closed, any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry if I've missed this discussion somewhere - i'm sure it's not an uncommon issue.
Watching videos a fair bit on the TF300T these days while travelling and not having access to my main PC. Have been watching from a USB flash drive plugged in to the dock.
When pausing a video, the screen time out turns the dock off, thus unpowering the USB port. This wouldnt be a problem except upon powering back on the stick doesn't remount properly, it shows mounted but blank. The only way to resolve this is to either a)reboot b) manually unmount and remount in settings.
Any way to keep the dock powered while screen is off? Or any other suggestions - the only other way I can think of is to put files on the tablet micro SD card, would rather not have to do this.

Have you tried unchecking Settings-->ASUS customised settings-->MobileDock Battery saving mode?
Hope this helped.

Shouldve said I'm running latest cm nightly, unsure where to find a similar setting there

I'm running Katkiss JB4.3 and outputting to an external monitor.
I'd like the external display to stay on when I close the dock. At the moment closing the dock and screen puts the device into standby and locks the screen.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

i'm looking for the same thing, what i'm doing atm it to undock it and lie it screen down.
does anyone know if the screen screen off from a proximity sensor or from wires in the hinge?
When I get some free time I will look into it another option is to keep it open and turn the backlight off.
