It's possible to have blown the power rail to the slots.

Its certainly possible to kill a PCI slot, particularly by
blowing the power supply trace off the motherboard etc.

Can also be something as basic as a dry joint or cracked trace with the socket too.

That may just be that it doesnt provide power for a powered mic.
Try a non powered mic.

If you are into mods, it isnt that hard to add power to the mic socket with
some mic sockets, but its a real hassle getting the motherboard out to do it.

Its also possible to get an adapter that lets you feed power to a powered mic too.
