My microwave just quit heating. I used a lower heat setting and some water actually did get warm, but on High I get nothing. My guess is that it's either the diode or magnetron. Have any of you replaced either on your own?

I'd advise not messing with it unless you like the q-ball look.
The good news is you'll never need a flashlight again!

Sounds about as safe as building nuclear plants in fault zones...

Yikes! I don't even like to stand in front of the darned things.
