Mic Broken

So my Mic broke a few months ago but then I did not have this wonderful forum. I took the mic out again so i could see if it magicly works now but not supriseingly it doesn't. There is nothing wrong with it that i can tell. It worked fine for about a month but it just stopped working one day. The link for the mic is down below. I am wondering if you guys have any suggestions of how to fix it.

Yeah no,
Things like this are the reason I will never recommend a USB microphone outside of the Q2U or AT2005, they just die in weird ways,
To quote my gear recommendation - "I know nothing about these and would strongly recommend not purchasing one unless you really dislike the idea of upgrading in future and like overpaying for mediocre audio. They often break in weird and wonderful ways that just aren't seen in a good XLR microphone due to the added complexity of ADC conversion among other things in USB mics. If you still really want to buy one refer to this (quite old) shootout. The only microphones I will make an exception for are the Samson Q2u and Audio Technica 2005 due to them being both XLR AND USB, allowing the owner to use it standalone and continue to use it once they get an audio interface."
