Condenser microphones require Phantom Power from and external source, such as a good mixer. Make sure your mixer has it available and it is turned on. Then make sure you have a good and properly wired mic cable. If these suggestions do not help I would contact the manufaturer or retailer where the mic was purchased. Take the mic to a music store and ask yhem to hook it up to see if it will work.

This mic is sensitive. I have moved in a closet in my house. How do you deal with this mic when it still picks up so much air. What can I do?
Your mic may be sensitive but its gain is set in the mixer or computer to which it's connected. I don't know what you mean by "too much air" but if you mean "room sound" there shouldn't be much in a closet unless it has all hard sound reflecting walls. You will need to provide a better description of the problem.

Repair
If you are good at doing such things yes, but the parts inside are very delicate and must be handled gently as not to damage them. If you are not comfortable doing it then I would suggest taking it to a local music store where similar items are sold to see if they can do it for you.

How do i get my MXL 770 mic to work in my PC
There is an interface box that adapts USB to Phantom Power. Look at your local music store or online at Musicians Friend or a similar site.

My brand new MXL Studio 1 USB microphone will not work in my Macbook. In System Preferences, under sound, the microphone does not show up.
There is a known problem with the signal ground of the usb chip on some computers. To resolve this error a hardware modification (additional GND connection) must be carried out inside the microphone. This should be done by qualified MXL service personel only.

Pls help
The MXL 990s requires 48 volts to operate. If your mixer does not have a phantom power option, you will need to purchase a microphone pre-amplifier with phantom power to interface the microphone to your mixer.
