There’s no fix I’m aware of yet. Other than the one @tvoverbeek posted, starting fresh with the new NOOBS as of 2015-09-24, or simply installing the Raspbian onto an SD card and using that. I don’t know enough about how NOOBS works to know if it’s even possible to fix already setup cards, and unless you absolutely need NOOBS for multi-boot I’d suggest backing up your files and installing Raspbian Jessie to stay ahead of the curve- major updates have a tendency of breaking more than they fix. ---

I was having the same issue, the screen was rotated 180 degrees. I tried adding `lcd_rotate = 2` to the end of my `/boot/config.txt` and nothing happened. I am running an updated version of Raspian Wheezy. On a whim I moved the `lcd_rotate = 2` line to the top of the file and it worked! ---

Great idea daveculp, I tried with NOOBS and it works as well. Just moved `lcd_rotate=2` to the top of the file :-) Thanks ---

I can also confirm that moving the lcd\_rotate=2 to the top of the config file works. It needs to be above everything, even the comments. ---

are you describing the ‘white screen’ symptoms described here: [http://forums.pimoroni.com/t/official-7-raspberry-pi-touch-screen-faq/959](http://forums.pimoroni.com/t/official-7-raspberry-pi-touch-screen-faq/959) Either way, I would advise to open a new topic, or post details of your problems there, ths one being about screen orientation specifically. ---

Hi! First of all, sorry for my litle English! My problem is that I’ve rotated the screen with the **lcd\_rotate=2** option, and the video is OK, but now my touch function has turned in flipped configuration, too. So, when I move my fingers from left to right, the mouse pointer is going from right to left, and the same issue appears with top and down… How can I solve it? Thanks! Jordi – EDITED – Not sense… I’ve confused **lcd\_rotate=2** with **screen\_rotate=2**. So I’m sorry for my mistake… Thanks!!!
