The Mystery Of The Blue Yeti

Gentlemen, there is a riddle worthy of the Sphinx.
The bottom line: After a year of use, native USB wire from my Blue Yeti a little salamansa and it was decided to purchase a new one without waiting for the final and untimely death of the old. Up to this point has already been purchased and tried 3 USB leads in 3 different stores. Working with them is the microphone is not wished, the old continues to work perfectly. In all specifications and in all found posts on forums on the subject says that's about normal USB Mini (I actually have no idea if they have something special, but suddenly I'm stupid and someone will enlighten me).
So, experts, attention a question: what the fuck is not working? What could be the problem?
