Laptop screen flips

The information provided is somewhat limited, however, here are a few things to consider.
1.) Check for a touchpad button located immediately above the touchpad itself. Some laptops have this and some don't. If your laptop has this, try pressing it once since it is the ON/OFF button for the touchpad.
2.) It's possible you're experiencing a settings issue. Rather than trying to weed out the specific issue, it would be much easier to do a system restore and revert your system settings back to when the touchpad worked. Goto Start/All Programs (or just Programs)/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore. You want to choose a System Restore date that is BEFORE your issue started. System Restore can take up to 15-20 minutes and should not be interrupted. Just set your oven timer for 20 min and come back after it dings to test your touchpad.
3.) You could have a driver issue. You'll want to check Device Manager for this. In Windows XP, click on Start, RIGHT-click on My Computer, click on Properties, click on the Hardware tab, click on the Device Manager button. In Vista, click Start, RIGHT-click Computer, click Properties, click Device Manager (the link in the upper-left corner of the System Properties window). If you see any yellow question marks or exclamation points anywhere in this list, it's likely your touchpad driver needs reinstalled. Check your manufacturers website for the latest driver.
4.) If none of the above work, you may need to replace the touchpad (or just use a USB mouse).
I hope that helps and best of luck!

I know how inconvenient working on your laptop the image in it is upside down. But don't worry I will help you with this concern.

I have a video tutorial that will walk you through on how to correct it or fix it.

Just click the link VideoTutorial so that you will directed on the video tutorial page. Once you get there, please wait to load the video completely, it takes quite while.
But if you want a written walk through, not a problem I will provide that.

Laptops are very customizable. There is a very handy technique that has been a feature on laptops for many years but is still not widely known. It comes in handy for a lot of reasons. For anyone who wants to relax and watch a movie on their laptop or read an ebook, the ability to rotate their laptop's screen from vertical to horizontal makes these activities so much easier. This explanation applies to Windows Vista and Windows 7.

1. Hold down the "Ctrl" and "Alt" keys and press the "Left Arrow" key. This will rotate your laptop screen view. Return to the standard screen orientation by holding down the "Ctrl" and "Alt" keys together and pressing the "Up Arrow" key. If you were unable to rotate your screen with "Ctrl + Alt + Left," go to step 2.

2. Right-click on the laptop's desktop and select "Personalize."

3. Find the "See Also" menu on the left side of the screen and click "Display."

4. Click on "Change Display Settings" and choose "Orientation" from the drop-down menu.

5. Choose from "Landscape," "Portrait," "Landscape (Flipped)," and "Portrait (Flipped)" from the box that appears. "Landscape" is the standard view. "Portrait" changes the view to sideways, leaning to the left. "Landscape (Flipped)" shows a sideways view leaning to the right. "Portrait (Flipped)" turns the screen upside down.

6.Click "Apply" and then click "OK." Your screen orientation is set to whatever version you like.

Proceed to play jokes on your friends by flipping their computer screens when they are not looking, then tell them "That's not good, dude."


I hope you find it very helpful. Thank you for using fixya.

Press F5 then wait three seconds and press F8. This will enter cursor mode and then you go to Start>Control Panel and then smack the tar out of your "Home and Insert" Keys. They have bad contacts. Flip the keyboard or laptop over and tighten all of the phillips head scres in that area and in general (on a laptop the keyboard screws are labelled with a "K" imprinted in the plastic next to the screw holes. Best of luck and definitely blow it out with airduster or a small vacuum.

Hello there:
If you first hold down the power key for 10 seconds the computer will turn off and then wait for 30 seconds and then turn on the computer it should start back up and you might come up to the black screen that says start windows normally or it say last good configuration that worked select that and press the enter and you should be ok from there
I hope this is very helpful for you
Best regards Michael

First of all, don;t smack it anymore... You should try hooking it up to the computer and see if you can go in through the USB connection and get it to turn on..it may be a problem with the screen settings.. if not contact apple tech support..

I simply turned my television off while emailing fixya and reading the user's manual. The television was turned off for about ten minutes. I think what happened was that the dvd skipped while ejecting and caused the screen to flip....who knows, I'm just happy it works properly again because I love to watch movies.

Thanks anyway,
Brett

I had the same problem. Here are the steps I took to fix it.

1. Adjust the power options on your laptop to ensure it does not sleep/hiberate ever.
2. Reset the camcorder by inserting a paperclip into the hole in the tripod mount. Hold the paperclip in there for about seven seconds.
3. Then immediately plug the flip into the cpu.
4. You may not see anything besides the little blinking white light on the USB arm for a while (about 30 minutes maybe) but leave it in.
5. Eventually it should spring to life and show the recharging battery on the little screen (the Flip Share program may start too.)
6. Leave it charging until the little white light stops flashing - full charge about 3 hours.
7. You can then remove the flip and change the power settings back to normal.

I had this problem around the time my TV was 3 years old. I ended up having to get it repaired at a TV repair place, it cost me $375.

Usually consumer described bowing is bad solder connects

on pins of convergence IC's. If the effort is made to pull the center PC board out,then replace both Stk392-570 IC's for

durability.

 

Note: V-Pin amp and pin out relates to left/right side bowed-in

  issues,a problem not usually found on your model.
