If there is no display / power within the unit...first check your power source where you plug the unit into the wall.
If that is good, Remove the Cabinette/Cover "Note: it has 3-Torx Anti-Tamper Screws".
Then as you face the microwave from the rear, at the left rear corner is a small circuit board with a fuse. "Check the Fuse"
If the fuse is good, Check the following:
1 - The most common component failure is the "Cabinette TCO" (Thermal Cut-Off Thermostat).
As you face the microwave from the rear...It is located under the cover, on top, on the left front corner area.
It is a Circular, Black & Silver Disc Shaped component about the size of a dime in diameter and is about 1/2" in height.
It has Two (2) Wires attached to it's spade connectors and it acts as a safety fuse.
"IF YOU PUT AN INSULATED JUMPER WIRE ACROSS THE 2 TERMINALS THE POWER SHOULD RETURN AND THE DISPLAY WILL LIGHT"
Anything other than these two items should be checked by an Authorized Service Technician as these microwaves have components thay carry "HIGH VOLTAGE SHOCK HAZZARDS"
HOPE THIS HELPS! JIM
