X201 microphone doesn't work

X201 running 64 bit Windows 7. The microphone used to work and then one day it didn't. I have tried replacing the LED inverter which appears to have the mic on it, and it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

First I would check if it is not a SW issue, by trying a different OS, perhaps a Linux LiveCD of some kind.

It can also be caused by a X200 sound board.

I wanted to try it since it saves power in linux:
