Chromebook Screen Accidentally Rotated

Solution: Use ChromeOS' screen rotate key combination to correct the screens orientation.

 

In some cases, this issue occurs when a specific set of keys is accidentally pressed. This feature is a regular feature of ChromeOS and is thankfully easy to resolve by following the below steps.

  1. Press and hold the CTRL + Shift keys and the Refresh key (circle with arrow) to rotate the screen 90 degrees clockwise.
  2. Repeat Step One until your screen is orientated correctly.

 

You can adjust your screen rotation in your Chromebook's settings using the following steps.

  1. Click on the clock in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
  2. Select the gear icon to open the Settings menu.
  3. Scroll down and click on Advanced to expand the advanced settings.
  4. Under the Device section, click on Displays to access the display settings.
  5. Look for the Rotation option and ensure it is set to Standard or 0 degrees.
  6. Adjust it to the correct setting if it is set to a different rotation.

 

In addition to adjusting the settings, you can use the following steps to reset your display to its factory default settings.

  1. In the display settings menu, scroll to the bottom and click Reset to Default.
  2. Confirm the action when prompted.
  3. This will reset all display settings, including the screen orientation, to their default values.

If these tips cannot resolve the issue, please put in a help desk ticket.
