Last evening while using our seven year old microwave there was a loud
bang and everything stopped.
I determined that my circuit breaker tripped and the microwave would
not restart.

Initially, I thought I detected a black powder residue near the
microwave door, but upon taking it down from the cabinet over the stove
and taking the cover off, I can't find anything that looks "fried" .

An appliance parts store nearby suggested that I have a technician (they
recommended) look at the magnetron.

I just bought a new one for $68 at Walmart. I doubt you can find a repair
person to repair yours for that. Buy a new one.
