Servo motor doesn't complete your course

I’m trying to control a servo motor (micro servo 9G SG90) through Blynk with a slider but despite having configured the slider to work between 1 and 180 the servo only moves up to 90 degrees. If I increase the slider to any number above 180 it stops at 90 and goes back to 1. Any idea what it could be?

#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h>
#include<Servo.h>

char auth[] = "xxxxx"; 
char ssid[] ="xxxxx"; 
char pass[] = "xxxxx"; 

Servo servo1;

BLYNK_WRITE(V1)
{
  servo1.write(param.asInt());
}

void setup()
{
  Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass);
  servo1.attach(D1); 
   }
  
void loop()
{
  Blynk.run();
}

maybe in web panel slider step is not set to 1?

Tiny and lightweight with high output power. Servo can rotate approximately 180 degrees (90 in each direction), and works just like the standard kinds but smaller.

90° In one direction then 90° in the opposite direction seems to be all that this servo is capable of.

I tried negative values ​​but the servo does not go beyond 90 degrees. I tried another servo and even opened it to remove the lock that limits its movement but I couldn’t. It seems to be a problem with esp8266 or with that brand of servo because I tried it without Blynk and the problem still persists.

So probably not something that this forum is going to be able to help you with.
