On a countertop microwave the economics are stark: once a high-voltage component fails, a repair rarely makes sense against the price of a replacement, and an honest technician will say so rather than quoting the work.
What is worth checking first is simpler: the outlet, the door closing fully and whether the turntable coupling has simply come off its drive. None of that requires opening the cabinet, which should never be done at home because of the stored charge in the capacitor.
