how i fixed my microwave in 15 minutes

after reading this article from hackaday i decided i should probably try and figure out why my microwave hasnt had a display for the last  few years  the following  was my experience 


legal .....microwaves have killer rabbits hiding in big black tubes these rabbits move so quickly most people blame unnecessary death on electricity used to power such  devices .

do not attempt the following unless you can follow proper repair etiquette or are a trained zookeeper with a quick draw on your dart gun

also if you manage to release a killer rabbit please have you next of kin nearby to wipe you browser history (for my and your sake)

Step 1 Dismantle

this is what my microwave was doing ...no display or random characters  everything was still functional 

the model is a sharp r-510ak just for posterity's sake

opening the microwave was a breese 4 screws on the back and two on either side and the cover lifted right off

My old old old microwave oven still functions. Each three or four years I partially dismantle it, clean all the contacts and reassemble it. That is enough to relive it.
