laptop scren

catherine22

hi eveyone, firstly apologies if this is in the wrong forum and i understand if no one is able to solve my problem or at least tell me what caused it.

last nite i was on some random website- wikipedia i think it was and my laptop was working fine and then in a split second, the screen just blanked out and when it came back it was upside down. it works completly fine except it is upside down.

i do intend on riinging dell first thing tomorrow when they open (they are closed because it is a bank holiday) and hopefully they will take me out of this little hole but i was just wondering if someone could tell me what happened. like i said the screen is fine except it is upside down and so everything is back to front- u have no idea how hard it is to operate the mouse when it is like this

so anyway if anyone can give me advice i would appreciate it but i am intending on ringing dell first thing tomorrow

thanks

What Cal said. You probably pressed by mistake or some such. I have come across it a few times with many users panicking about it. Good you got it sorted anyway.
