Our ten year old microwave oven has started to emit a slight burnt electrical smell when it's running. The display has been acting a bit odd for the last few years and it's a cheap, modern day piece of disposable electronics. But still the frugal person in me wonders: If the main working parts of the oven are fine and it's just the circuit board that's malfunctioning is it even halfway sensible to try and repair it? Or would any reasonable person simply chuck it and buy a new one?
