To be honest I don't know, there's so many factors involved that it could be 
any of them. 
Just do the basics ie: clean the contacts regularly, both xlr & capsule/mic 
body plus any switches on the side. It's a bit like a car really, preventative 
maintenance will cure most problems but sometimes you need a mechanic...
