no nothing panel won't turn on

Accepted Answer

ok then that means a fuse of some sort has probably broken, there are about 3 on the microwave. If the unit would turn on without you doing anything that means either the control board is bad or you have a bad door switch. Microwaves are VERY unsafe to work on so I wouldn't recommend it as they can actually kill you but to do any work you will deffinately need a "multimeter" to test the fuses and door switches.
