Deathadder 2013 won't turn on when plugged into my computer. It works on others though.

Got a new 2013 Deathadder from Razer a couple of months ago. Recently it's been starting to act up. I had to unplug it and plug it back in multiple times for the lights to come up and use of the mouse to appear. Over the past couple of days, I have had to revert back to using my old Mx518 because the Deathadder won't even turn on, no matter how many times I plug it in. I tried Synapse 2.0, but every time I use it, it requests that I plug in a Razer product. The deathadder is plugged in, but it just won't get recognized, or even turn on for that matter.

It does not show up in any device manager or mouse setting. The USB ports work fine, I use my MX518 in the same port as the Deathadder would be used in. I also tried to use it on a couple of other computers (Laptops and desktops.) and it works completely fine.

I have not tried to manually install any drivers yet, I was just wondering if I should try that, or is there another fix I can use?

Running this on Windows 8 currently.
