I'm using Windows 7.
I bought a Blue Yeti Microphone about a month ago, and it has been working as it should for the past month. Today, when I plugged it in to do some recording, my computer did not even recognize that something was plugged in. I checked both the Sound settings and the Devices box in the Control Panel, but I could see no sign of the microphone in my computer.

When I plug the mic in, its red light comes on, but the mute light does not blink as normal when I press it.

I tried switching its USB cable for another from one of my devices, but the result was the same--no recognition at all of my microphone's existence, not even a message about a faulty device or driver or an unspecified name. No response from my computer.

I tried it on my friend's computer today, too, and got no response as well.

My USB ports still work; I use a USB mouse with no problem, and I can still plug in and use flash drives without any hitches.

If anyone's got any ideas of what's gone wrong, please help me!! Thank you!
