Hi Gus,

I have actually never killed any component using cooling spray. However,
I do think that I can put this particular microprocessor on the killing
list. The microwave oven now automatically starts up as soon as a put
the coord in the wall outlet.

My theory is that the microprocessor was failing, and that my cooling
adventures made it fail completely.

I seams possible to buy a whole new control board as a spare part, but
it costs ~200 dollar, which is more than I am willing to spend on a
microwave almost 10 years.


Kind regards, Marcus Lindahl

I have found that when you cool down microprocessors like that, they
do tend to fail, sometimes permanently.. I don't think I would put
too much stock in that observation. Has anyone experienced this??
