What hardware component controls screen rotation

Hey Guys,

I did a Ipad 4 screen repair for a customer of mine a week ago and he said that his screen wouldnt rotate. Anybody know what component has the gyro sensor on it so I can replace it for him. Thanks

There is a IC chip on the logic board that controlled the screen rotation. (Gyroscope / aceloromitor). But the obvious option is check the setting to see if it's set to "lock screen" also the side switch can also lock the screen so I won't rotate.
