All the Blinking and such, That is a Power issue on the USB port. Been widely reported on Reddit's /r/hotas and there is only one solution. Buy a Powered USB 2.0 Hub and plug the stick into that.

I get a slight scraping sound on my stick, and I looked carefully at the base metal ring as I move it. It is that ring as it moves on the plastic rim and the spring moving. It got much better after I moved it around for about 5-10 minutes. Not full range motion, but enough to move the metal ring and spring. See if yours is doing that. If that is not it, then no clue.

Quite possible you have a dud. Did you buy local or online? I would return it.
