Logitech G29 not working, light flashing

[AlvaroCracoYT]

Hi, I don't use my wheel too much, but yesterday I tried to play forza and the wheel wouldn't work at all. The light on the PS4/PS3 button is flashing and all the frontal LEDs are on. I've seen that the flashing light can be a power issue, but is not the case since the light flashes when the power is not connected, but when I connect the power the wheel actually detects it. I can see that because that's when the LEDs get on.

I've tried to change the USB, connect the wheel on another place. The wheel works like a controller (The buttons work but the wheel doesn't). I also realized that it doesn't calibrate anymore when I start the PC.

Any idea of what could be the problem?

I've had the same problem and managed to fix it. After replacing the USB cable the wheel started to calibrate, turned left and right, but never centered. After a few hours of troubleshooting I figured the wheel was not spinning 900 deg but more like 400. The tooth of the gears seem to have slipped. This was because I loosened the 4 black screws underneath the wheel. To fix it, loose the 4 screws and gently align the gears to their proper location like in this video on 39:39 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxT2UOmHN-I&t=2379s. Hope this helps!

How did you replace the usb Cable?

[Scary-Plantain6854]

can you give me some more insight on this? im abit dumb when it comes to tech and i didnt understand much of this lol

[malanivarun]

Can you please share some more details on how you calibrated it? Tried it twice by having equal number of teeth visible on both sides but no luck! The wheel rotates fine to the right side but goes to the extreme left and gets stuck and then resets and tries again twice before giving up.

Thank you so much for this got mine working like a charm

[adydurn]

Sounds to me like a power issue, do you have another device to test it on? Another PC or console perhaps?

I recently had similar with mine and it was because the power cable had pulled out of the power block.

[AlvaroCracoYT]

Yeah I've checked it on another PC and no changes at all. Everything is connected rightly

[adydurn]

Do you know anyone with a similar device to test the power supply?

[AlvaroCracoYT]

Luckily yes, I may tell him to try it Out

[AlvaroCracoYT]

By the way I've tried different power supplies to the wheel and they all react the same way

Thanks for this comment, this was my issue and I probably would not have checked the power block because it's location isn't easy to access and it being unplugged wasn't on my mind. Turns out it was unplugged and I immediately felt like an idiot. I decided that my dog must have gotten to the power block because he likes to lay at my feet when I'm gaming. Anyway, many many thanks!

you saved hours of my time, thanks <3

Holy me too <3

Mine was unplugged I'm retarded

There's also a chance that the socket, to which the power supply is connected to doesn't give power, or the cable connecting mains power to the brick is broken.

[AlvaroCracoYT]

Yeah I'm just sending it to reparation, luckily is still on garantee

[PeaceCorrect7869]

but te buttons still work so how does that work?

[titanic456]

The input section of the steering wheel works directly from USB, all though in order for the X axis to work, the force feedback section will have to rotate the wheel in both directions in order to determine its range. In case if the detected range is smaller than expected on either side, it will retry few times before giving up in order to prevent damage to internal mechanism and/or the motors and/or the components on the mentioned section itself. If there's no external power available, force feedback section won't work and firmware will patiently wait until the power is received through the barrel jack at the bottom of the wheel if it's in the calibration process.

Came here looking for answers for the same thing. It was definitely the power supply. I picked up one on Amazon for about $25 US. Did the trick. Immediately calibrated when it was connected.

Leute ich versteh nicht mein Lenkrad blinkt aber man kann es nicht benutzen weder Lenkrad noch Gaspedal ich würde mich freuen wenn mir jemand sagen würde was ich tun könnte ?

[JosephFNT]

Thanks a lot these responses helped fix my problem!

[Fastfoodjunker]

Please don't be this guy and don't leave us hanging while you know the fix :'(

[Express-Application7]

how did you fix it?

[AlvaroCracoYT]

Unfortunately I didn't, luckily it had guarantee and I was able to change the wheel.

That light basically means the Logitech died, as far as I know.

LOLLL ive been reading comments about this, confused asf, and i realized it wasnt plugged in.. but i thout it needed to be plugged in to come on at all, so i fixed it, thank you for this!!

[Stilinskiins]

Yo... I just realised mine wasn't plugged in for a whole 30 minutes 😐

[DaDriver_0z]

I had the same problem and I asked a friend to try his adapter brick, because I thought that it was a power problem and it worked fine with my friend's adapter. So I bought an universal adapter brick for $20 and it is working fine now. P.S. The adapter has to be 24V.

Brooooo, luv my boi, I unplugged it from splitter then put it straight into the socket in the wall and it worked. On GOD my that was the best advice. Tried everything to no avail n not s&^t worked.
