Hello. My screen has completely refused to rotate. I have tried every suggestion I found on the internet. I unlocked the orientation lock to be able to rotate it, I had rebooted it by holding the power and home key for 15 seconds, I restarted the phone like 10 times. Yet the problem persists. I really don’t know what else to do. Please, I would appreciate any suggestions I can get to help rotate it.
Questa è una buona domanda?

Hi. Have you checked the offical Apple Forum regarding this issue? If not, visit here >.
Otherwise, your InvenSense 6-axis gyroscope accelerometer may have been damaged.
To repair this, you’d need to replace the logic board. A guide for that is here >.

Thanks Josh. I guess I’ve hit something of a hard rock. The steps towards replacing the Logic Board could lead to the fingerprint ID going bad. Now that’s a risk I’m not too sure I’m willing to take.
I know it’s silly to ask what you would do, but I’d really like to know. Plus I don’t believe there are enough qualified technicians in my country (Nigeria) to get it fixed.
The Touch ID sensor itself houses the Touch ID Encryption, getting a new logic board shouldn't necessarily affect the Touch ID. As long as it has the same button it's always had, it should be fine.
What I would do is get a new logic board and put it in, being extremely careful not to damage the Touch ID flex cable, then after the new logic board is put in, the Touch ID should be fine as long as it has the same button.
It's a bit of a risk to take however, because if you break the button or the Touch ID flex cable, you'd have to take it to Apple for them to match Touch ID to the logic board again. Which can be quite costly.
Hope I could help.

This problem I have only seen on mobile phones damaged by moisture. Could it be the problem?

I quite literally do not know. I got the phone from a store that supplies fairly used phones. Perhaps it got damaged there.
