This could be anything from a defective mic to a dirty pot in the
rig.
The easiest way to make this determination is by like/kind substitution.
Connect the suspect mic to another rig -- or connect a known good mic to
the rig in question.
Otherwise, you're spending money to fix/replace a mic that may not
even be defective.
Just a thought!

Quoting Richards <jruing@ameritech.net>:
Geeze... what IS on that little microphone circuit board?
It cannot be too much, maybe just a bias voltage card
that modifies and provides 2 - 5 volts to the electret
condenser mic element. I suspect you could figure that
out easy enough - maybe a broken connection, or a
component that has puked - like a switch, but probably
just a bad connection for some reason. Maybe even a
broken contact where the cable attaches or a broken
cable internal wire where strain relief puts pinch pressure...
or even a break in the little wires that traverse the goose neck
between the base and the mic head... or...or...
But microphones are rather easy to make, so I doubt the
board is all that complicated. I am thinking the mic
element has lost the bias voltage it is looking for...
Happy trails.
I would not spend $100 to fix it. You could get a really
decent sounding dynamic mic for anywhere from $20
and up.
