I double what Art said.

No offense intended, but microwave ovens are definitely NOT for
inexperienced troubleshooters. The high voltages inside can really put you
in a world of hurt.

Besides, microwave ovens are so inexpensive now that you can probably buy
one new at Y'all Mart cheaper than a replacement magnetron would cost.

It bugs me to throw away something when it can be fixed. And I don't
shop at wall mart. I won't be trying to trouble shoot this thing
powered up. If it can't be done that way then I'll get a new one. I
know about high voltage and know enough not to mess with it. Can the
HV diode be checked with a VOM?
