| 357898 | 2005-05-24 01:12:00 | I've got a Sharp Carousel microwave oven that I bought about a year ago from Warehouse, which is just out of it's one year warranty (parallel import). I had it switched off at the wall for four days while I was out of town, and now the small LCD display has gone all garbled. Anyone know if this is fixable? Thanks. |

| 357899 | 2005-05-24 01:40:00 | Probably not fixable economically. I would power it down again, for as long as you can (to let the supercap discharge) and see if it reboots OK next time. What operating system does it run ....? |

| 357901 | 2005-05-24 01:57:00 | I have an idea that I've seen mention of a Sharp microwave model which had problems with the LCD dying, and Sharp were paying for the replacement. To save me typing the link, give Google "sharp r350e" and check out the Silicon Chip article at the top. (There's also a PDF file about 4 down which might eb the instrucyoions for fitting a replacement) |

What operating system does it run ....? Thanks for the input. I've tried the "power down" exercise. No Better. The damnable thing is that it's probably the cheapest component in the machine. But cooking-wise it's a great unit. Operating system? Probably Mac! :D |

| 357903 | 2005-05-24 02:03:00 | But it may not be as simple as just "the LCD display", the microcontroller driving it may have karked. | godfather (25) | ||
