so i plugged it into a different usb port, and it was recognized so i used zadig again and it worked. Tried to turn it back on this morning, and it's not working again. The usb ports still work for everything else.
I've even uninstalled the gekkoscience drivers from my pc, to reinstall them, but it doesn't work. I'm using the cgminer from this thread
Thanks for all the help so far guys.
