Yesterday my screen randomly blipped from being in landscape mode with my type cover attached to portrait and my keyboard stopped working.

I rebooted and could not resolve the problem without manually locking to landscape and with still no keyboard connectivity.

This morning this seemed to resolve itself and was working but dropped off again this afternoon

The screen now blips between portrait and landscape as it wishes. Type cover drops off and comes back as it wishes.

Uninstalled the surface cover telemetry and reinstalled via windows updates. Same problem.

It’s like the orientation has completely died

The type cover shows in connected devices even when not working…

No updates were installed around the period of it dropping out.

Cannot find anyone with same problems and cannot find any form of calibration.

2 Spice ups

Are you running 8.1 Pro or 10 Pro?

Have you tried the two button shutdown to see if that changes anything?

Win 10 upgrade
Yes have tried the reset multiple times

Wiped the surface and still had the issue. Hardware fault.
