In most modern devices, in addition to buttons, there are LEDs. They have their own purpose, namely to indicate the level of charge or the occurrence of certain problems. There is a case when the joystick flashes in a circle. Let's look at the causes of this phenomenon.

How to fix problems
- Battery Replacement
- Poor sync
There are two common causes of this phenomenon:
- The battery has a low charge. After the device has been turned on, the light sources begin to flash, indicating that the battery is low on the device. And if their charge is completely exhausted, the joystick may turn off right in the middle of the game.
- Another problem is poor synchronization between the console and the computer. This happens if previously the gamepad was connected to another device (for example, a set-top box), or if the device was just bought. To determine that the reason is precisely in the synchronization is very simple, if the batteries are new, and the joystick still flashes in a circle.
How to fix problems
The algorithm will vary, depending on the problem. Most often, it turns out to eliminate them yourself, and the help of the wizard is not required.
Battery Replacement
If the reason is the batteries, they just need to be replaced. For this:
- Open the cover on the panel.
- We take out the old batteries.
- Insert new ones. Be careful with polarity.
It is best to buy batteries and remove them if you do not use the device, this will save a charge longer.
Poor sync
It must be corrected as follows:
- Turn on the console or computer.
- Turn on the controller. To do this, click on the button in the center.
- We are looking at the end of the joystick for a small button. She is needed for communication. Click on it.
- You also need to press the sync button. It can be located on the console or receiver (if using a computer).
- We are waiting for some time until the network is configured.
Note! When connecting a wireless joystick to a computer, the receiver must be used. Also, drivers updated to the latest version are needed, otherwise the device simply will not work.
There are only two reasons for the joystick to blink in a circle. First you need to check the batteries. If the cause is definitely not in them, synchronize.
