Gametron plantronics microphone issue

[justforthekicks]

Hello, I am having a problem with my Gamecon Plantronics headset. I've been using it for weeks and it has worked fine. Today, I put it on, and my microphone is extremely low and it won't pick up anything but static, no matter how high I boost the db or outbound on ventrilo.

I saw a similar "solved" case where the guy used his warranty and just sent it in. Is their any other solution that could possibly be done? I'm not convinced that it's a problem with the mic, as it was literally working well when I went to sleep, and then without any gradual regression, it stopped picking up anything but static or me yelling (which is still very low). Thanks

can you try it on another pc?
can you try another mic on that pc?
do you have a multimeter?
can you try the mic on a separate pre amp - speaker set up?
