Socks on the carpet, get yourself nice and charged up with static electricity, then touch the chips on the circuit board a bunch. Or get a bug zapper and a piece of wire and connect it up to random chips on the board. Or if it's small enough to go in the microwave stick the whole thing in the microwave for a few seconds until well done. Or drill some metal and sprinkle the metal chips into the vent holes.
I accidentally destroyed my microwave by putting a sideways bottle of wine in the cabinet above it, which all leaked out and poured into it. Then I forgot and my GF started using it a day or two later and it spontaneously stopped running, for some odd reason.
Was there any smoke or just the quiet embrace of death?
We didn’t use it that often, and then (I said a couple of days m, I think it was longer) later, my gf was trying too cook a potato or something and it stopped working. I didn’t even remember and then was… oh. Yeah… hmm. Nothing dramatic, it just stopped running.
A place to ask questions, stupid or not.
