Hi. A mate of mine had a gemsquash (A type of pumpkin) blow up inside his microwave and now it won't work. I have heard that troubleshooting for microwaves is quite straightforward. Does anyone have advise on what to look for?

Well, start by unplugging the microwave and waiting a little while.

The first thing I would look for is blown fuses and physical damage or shorts caused by bits-o-pumkin.
 
Thanx

Nate
