Hi gang,

I have a Lenovo Flex 2 14D running Windows 8.1 and recently when I put it down on a surface (Desk, coffee table, even my lap) the display will turn upside down and the only way to fix this is to use Alt+Ctrl to set it back to normal. Any ideas why this would be happening or what I should do? I have tried searching online for a solution but they were to either manually put it back each time (Which I do) or to change my orientation to Landscape, not Landscape flipped. Which it is and always has been.

Any ideas?
 
Try a new video driver, I would also contact Lenovo for support, seems the screen orientation sensor is not working right and detecting some change in orientation it should not.
