my iPad wont rotate to landscape also in games I can't rotate to steer like in real racing 2 hd, the gyroscope doesn't work also the side switch doesn't work on my iPad so it can go silent

Can someone please help me, I think it's the hardware because when I quit the game the iPad wouldn't rotate to portrait. I tried restarting it but it doesn't, also tried turning it on and off and that didn't work either so I think it's a hardware defect

iPad 2, iOS 6

Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
