Hello gents,

Recently picked up a brand new chroma deathadder - Loved it, great mouse.

Then about a week into its use, it started acting up. Every now and again it will temporarily disable itself OR turn itself off. By that I mean it will stop working, and sometimes seem to have power (lights still on) and sometimes not (lights off).

Also, often when I start up the PC it won't receive power at all. Even when I change USB slots it still doesn't respond.

I'm fairly sure its software based - Tried it in a different PC and it was fine. However, I did unplug the mouse, uninstall both the razer software AND the windows drivers for it, restarted PC, installed blah de blah and the issue carries on.

Any ideas? Maybe conflicting software, but I haven't changed anything (that I am aware of) from when it was functioning normally to when it had stopped functioning.

Cheers in advance!
 


I did indeed and the problems continued.

The mouse was hooked up for a long time - I didn't unplug it at all until the problem started.

 



Good shout, will give it a shot.
 


It's possible. Can you make a live windows or linux boot usb or cd that you can run? This is to eliminate the possibility of software/driver issues.
