Esplora wont respond

I bought a new esplora after i had been using one in a lab for a few month and upon plugging in my new esplora found that it didnt give me the start up beep or output sensor data into my code as it does with the other esploras I use. I am using cygwin to compile and run c code and running explore.exe to collect the data from the esplora for my code. I cant get the esplora to do anything right now except have the green on light stay on. My computer recognizes it and I have updated the drivers but now Im not sure what to do.
I use ./explore.exe -p COM6 -t -a -b to read in the data usually but when running it with the new esplora i get no input whatsoever.
