It sounds like a shorted high voltage capacitor, a fairly cheap fix. But if it's good, I would suspect the high voltage transformer.
Here are some links you or a friend can use for test help, but read the safety warnings first:

There
should be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the
control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is
very helpful when troubleshooting & testing.

I think I understand what you mean. If you were to log on to the
manufacturer's web site, I think you will be pleasantly surprised as
usually one is able to download, by model number, Customer
Instruction Manuals, list
of Dealers and Driver
downloads
as required. Just Google the manufacturer's name and
follow the links. Make certain you are directed to the manufacturer's
web site as some search engines direct you to other sites and they
charge for the information that is normally free of charge. The magnetron may have either failed or
is not being supplied with the extremely high voltage required to run
it. I hope this helps.
Make sure the !!!!capacitor is discharged!!!!!
before attempting any sort of repair.
Check the door interlock
switches first then the high voltage diode with either an AVO model 8
on high resistance range for short circuit, the feed fuse on the
primary of the high voltage transformer and then finally, the
magnetron is best checked by substitution.
