If you are receiving this message, then your Deathadder is broken. It's as simple as that. There are no fixes for this other than sending it back.
This has happened to countless users, including me, from what I can see.
Symptoms:
Wheel light glows but razer logo does not flash any more.
Computer does not start up when the mouse is plugged in.
When plugged into any computer, it says "USB Device Not Recognised"
Causes:
When using drivers v1.05 and firmware 1.21:
DPI changes and Polling rate changes in the drivers
Changing profiles using the button on the underside of the mouse
Incorrect flashing of firmware (to a lesser degree - this often causes other problems)
The root cause of this appears to me that the memory inside the mouse has become corrupt when trying to change various settings. There is no "reset" button as such, so this cannot be solved from what I can see.
Just thought I would give make this information available, in case anybody else has this problem in the future. If anybody finds a fix for this, or develops one, I'll add it in here.
