When finished, take the SD card out of your PC and insert it back in. You should see a boot directory under the drive representing the SD card. Go into the directory and find a file called <em>config.txt<\/em>. Make a copy of it so you can replace it if\u00a0something goes wrong. Next, you will need to edit this file so you will need to open it with Wordpad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find the the following line which can usually be found near the bottom of the file. Search for it if you have to, as having more than one such configuration line is going to cause problems. If the line doesn&#8217;t exist, create it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">display_rotate=?<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;?&#8221; is going to be an integer number from 0-3.
