Raspberry Pi Forums

Hi i have a 7inch raspberry pi lcd . I hooked it up and the screen is upsidedown. Ive look at blogs and read trying to get it flipped with no success . I keep reading to put lcd-rotate=2 into config\txt . But they dont say what line or section to add too or replace. I could use some help other than being told put it there

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Just put it a the end of the file. Just to be sure, the file you need to edit is config.txt, using, for example the nano editor:

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

and add at the end of the file
Then use Control-X to save and quit, then reboot your pi : Texy

Ive tried that 10 times this morning . When i try to update the setting it doesnt let me . Ive been working on and off this for a month and getting no where . I need a screen shot or something .

Does that mean you get some sort of message?

Or...you could do what I do. Turn the screen over. A right-angled microUSB cable helps, though.

no it just goes to he next line when I hit enter. this all would have been so much better if they would make the frame correctly. I'm going to reload noobs again and try again your suggestion

nano is a text editor, and as in most editors you somehow have to save the file and then exit the program...
Do you actually save and exit with e.g. <control-x>Y<enter>

Here you go, this should help you out. First open the file using When nano opens the file use the down arrow key on the keyboard to scroll down to the bottom of the file.
Add this line at the bottom To save the changes and exit the editor you have to hold down the <CTRL> key and press "x". Then you'll have to press "y" to confirm that you want to save the changes, then finally press <ENTER>. If you don't press the "y" key to confirm the changes it won't save them when you exit.

Since you're using NOOBS try holding the [SHIFT] key while you reboot and using the NOOBS config editor to add the stuff to the bottom of your config.txt file.

Thank you guys !! It worked thank you
