I would say you have blown a fuse on the unit. As you now have found out, that's one of the reasons why you unplug any electrical equipment before working on them. You will have to take the outer cover off the microwave and locate where the fuse is. It is most likely on the back of the main PCB or possibly inside a plastic sleeve or mounting near where the cord enters the unit.
Testimonial: "The only fuse I can find is the main fuse on the top right (facing microwave). Nothing works when the fuse is out. Nothing is really by the power cord. Any other suggestions."

It would appear that the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) hs failed. As William Miller has written below... He looks like he has come across the problem and has the parts you need. Cheers

SOURCE: Fan stopped working in JVM1533BD microwave
I assume you're talking about the hood fan which ventilates the cook top and blows air through the grille across the top. If so, it's okay to use the microwave with that not working, but if you boil something on the stove, an external fan is definitely needed to keep mositure from going up into the microwave controls. If the cooling fan INSIDE the microwave (behind the keypad) is not working, then you do NOT want to run it unit it is fixed. If you or a friend decide to work on it, we have *critical* safety, disassembly, and troubleshooting info at our site, which is linked at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk You can find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number (without the suffix) here: http://tinyurl.com/gv383
SOURCE: Lighting Problem
We see this a lot. The problem is on the control panel, which we regularly repair nationwide for $39.95 postpaid.
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.
This can often also affect the exhaust fan operation, too. The lights and fan can be inoperable or stuck on too.

That model number is not quite right. I'm going to assume it's JVM1740DMBB01.
(If that's not right, please check the tag inside the oven & reply back)
The membrane keypad is not
available as a separate part, so you would have to order the control
panel frame which comes with a new keypad.
In this case, you simply
move your circuit board into the new frame.
The part number you need is WB07X11040 and you can find
helpful exploded view diagrams and order this part here for $107.00 (compared to $164.75 from GE!)
