Is the controller not working with any software, or only not with [leapmotion]? I had the same issue of the controller not lighting up when I ran the LEAP 2.3.1 installer, but I documented this extra step in the [leapmotion] INSTALL.txt that fixes things:
When running the installer, a popup warning appears about missing graphics drivers. This can be ignored. When installation is finished, navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Leap Motion\Core Services\Drivers and run dpinst64.exe to install 64-bit drivers for the Leap Motion Controller. For me, this extra step installs the drivers correctly and the device lights up/is recognized afterward. I just went through this process again on my W10 machine with no issues, and [leapmotion] works fine after that fix. Could you report specifically on your results of trying that?
