If none of uli's tips won't help it needs to be looked at by an repair center. In that case contact your local support team for more info.

Thanks for all the help I used the repair facility and it solved the problem but I have just upgraded to Android 4 and the orientation to landscape from portrait does not work for the main screen but it does for all application.

This is very strange
