Microwave help

Hi - sorry if this is in the wrong place I didn't really know where to post it...
I have a microwave that's about 6 years old but only used for about 1 year in total (parents bought a new one so was sitting unused in a cupboard for years before I took it when I moved out). I've had it for the past 3 months or so and its been working fine - now its not. Its still 'working' so to speak, in that the light is still on, the plate is still turning and it makes the same noise as usual but now it just won't heat anything up - any ideas?

Sounds like the magnatron (the bit that makes the microwaves). As you can get a microwave for £30, its not worth fixing.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0
