Why is my display upside down?

I did a teardown of my camera to add another external shutter release. After the reassembly my display screen is upside down. In case of horizontal and vertical position. Only if i take a "selfie" the direction is correct.

Anything else is working fine! Particulary the new shutter release! :)

I think there must be an error on the rotation sensor. Can i do a recalibration of the sensor?

Dows anyone know where i can find the sensor?

Is anyone here who can help me?

Kind regards

Hendrik

Hi!

There is broken microswitch in lcd lower housing. Easy fix is to make jumper between black and yellow wire on lcd electronic . Just fixed mine .

Hi there! If you guys are still having problems, I've solved it. Hopefully it'll fix your problem as well.

While having the camera on with the live view, rotate the camera upside down a few times for the monitor to freak out a little and find its way back to where you want it. Hope this helps, let me know!

Hi.

This problem happens when you place the lcd screen when metal frame holder in wrong position. you can see that in this position plastic cover is not really closing from inner edges. so take the screen and metal frame out. and rotate that inner frame holder metal piece to other way and place to screen again. you will see that plastic cover will fit perfectly in this case. and this will solve upside down problem as well.
