what is the command to tell the tablet to use an external monitor and go into that mode (and to turn it off that mode)?  i saw a post somewhere showing a command to work with an external monitor.  i also have an adapter and the adapter and cord work fine with my surface 2 tablet so i know they work.  also with the m10, if i plug to a tv works fine because it recognizes a connection and goes into external monitor mode. 
thanks,Ted

I had similar issues - solved them by getting a different micro to Hdmi 
adapter - the first wasn't  long enough (apparently two milimeters makes a 
big difference).

Working perfectly now.
