Afterglow Prismatic Wired Controller Driver Windows 7

I have an Afterglow Xbox 360 controller that I use on my pc. I bought it and when I plugged it in my Windows 8.1 pc recognized it and installed the drivers. It worked perfectly. Now fast forward five months and when I plugged it into my laptop it wasn't recognized. Now when I plug it into any pc it's not recognized. I've tried downloading the 360 drivers from microsoft and that didn't work. When I plug it in the lights come on for a second and then they all go out. When it was working and I plugged it in the lights would flash but the green light for player 1 around the home button would stay on, it doesn't any more. Any help would be very much appreciated. Can I fix this or do I need to just buy a new one?
