When your Quasar microwave display is not working, first press each control-panel button. If the buttons are also unresponsive, the control module is the most likely cause and may need replacement. On models without a separate display board, a defective touchpad and control panel can cause a blank microwave screen or a microwave clock display that is dark. If only some segments are missing, the display board is more commonly at fault. A completely dead display can result from either the display board or the main control board, while a control board with power but no display may need to be replaced. Before ordering parts, confirm the microwave is plugged in and test the wall receptacle with another small appliance, then check the circuit breaker. These checks address a microwave display not working, microwave screen not working, or microwave not working with no display. Enter your Quasar microwave model number to find the exact replacement control module, touchpad, main control board, or display board for your appliance. Any repair that requires opening the outer cabinet must be handled carefully because the high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after the microwave is unplugged. Proper capacitor discharge is required before interior work, so use a qualified technician if you are unfamiliar with the procedure.

06 - Quasar Microwave Control Board
Since the control board is a part of the digital display, a defective board could be responsible for a microwave display not working, if the control board has power to it but the display is not working replace the control board.
A microwave display not working may be due to a power outage or power surge. Full operation can sometimes be restored through a power reset by either unplugging the unit's power cord for a few minutes and then plugging it back in or switching off the circuit breaker for the microwave then switching it back on.
