This light failure often occurs when a bulb goes out and the filament shorts, or when the bulbs are removed or installed without first unplugging the oven from the power line. Either can cause such a failure on the controller.

The lights can can be inoperable or stuck on or stuck in "night light" mode. Sometimes this will similarly affect the fan operation or inside light, too.

could use a little more detail.
when u have no display screen the solutions are. possible causes * A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped. A. Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker
* Power surge. A. Unplug the microwave oven, then plug it back in.
* Plug not fully inserted into wall outlet A. Make sure the 3-prong plug on the oven is fully inserted into wall outlet.
* Door not securely closed. A. Open the door and close securely.

If the microwave is not on a dedicated circuit, it's just the additional load the microwave is adding to the circuit which is causing the breaker to trip.

• Make sure that the microwave is plugged into a grounded outlet. It must be a 3-prong outlet.
  
• Make sure the clock is set.
• Check to see if a programming sequence was entered. Sometimes improper programming or a program sequence such as delay start can cause the touch panel to be non-responsive. Unplug microwave or turn off house circuit breaker for 30 seconds. Plug back in, or reset circuit breaker, and try reprogramming unit.
  
• Check the house circuit breaker or fuse box. If the microwave is DEAD and there is no display and nothing works- the problem could be a blown fuse or tripped breaker.

The control circuits for the cooktop lights and the hood fan are spearate. The problem is indeed with the control unit. It's usually caused by either the filaments shorting when the lamp blows or by removing or installing the bulbs while the oven is still plugged into the power line. We regularly repair these nationwide for $32.50.

Sorry a bad controller printed circuit board or what GE calls a smart board. I have seen these smart boards as low as 85 bucks, go up to a price of 179.00!
