My 87 did the same thign for a while, it felt like it wouldn't get any phantom power. You might want to check the connections between the 'head' and the body of the mic. If you unscrew the outer shell, then squeeze those two bars togehter that run along the whole length of the body, the head should come off easy. Check the pins that make the electrical connection.

Hope that helps.
