Microwaves use several interlocked door switches, and a failure in one of them is a very common cause of a unit that does nothing at all. It is also a safety system, which is why it is never something to bypass.
Check the outlet and that the door closes fully. Beyond that, an older countertop microwave with a real fault is usually replaced rather than repaired, and no cabinet should be opened at home because of the capacitor inside.
