At times whilst typing fast without seeing the keyboard, we tend to press certain buttons randomly which tends to rotate our screen. However, you mustn’t panic if the Chromebook screen won’t rotate back because this rotated screen can be fixed pretty easily. Here is how to rotate screen on HP Chromebook or other Chromebooks that you have.
How to rotate screen on HP Chromebook
There are two ways in which you can rotate the screen.
- Using the Settings of Chromebook
- Using Keyboard shortcuts of Chromebook
Using the Settings of Chromebook
The orientation of the screen can be changed according to your choice – 90°, 180°, and 270°.
Go to Settings by clicking the clock icon on your screen and then select the gear icon
From the options displayed you must select Device
Under Device, you need to select Displays
Click on the Displays option and select to open Orientation
Now from the dropdown options that you get, you can select the orientation degree that you want
Using the Keyboard Shortcuts of Chromebook
You can also use keyboard shortcuts to flip the screen of your Chromebook. However, in this option, you can flip it just by 90° at one go. So, if you wish to flip the screen back to its original position, then you must use the same shortcut keys 3 times. Here is what you need to do:
Press Shift, Ctrl, and Refresh keys (circular arrow button) all at the same time. This will flip your screen to 90°. You must repeat the action three times to bring it back to what a normal screen would look like.
For some Chromebooks, they might be prompted with a pop-up message which says, “You pressed the keyboard shortcut for screen rotation. Do you want to rotate the screen?” – You must click on continue to proceed with the screen rotation.
These are the two simple ways using which you can change the screen orientation or flip the screen of your Chromebook.
