This microwave was giving to me from someone who needed help cleaning out a garage, the previous owner didn't know what was wrong with and gave it to me. It looks in really nice condition, very clean and all the screen and blue lights turn on when plugged in. I put a cup of water in, set it for 20 seconds and hit the start put. After about 5 seconds it shuts off but all the lights are still lit up. I repeat again and the same results. I repeat a third time and this time it shuts down except just before it shuts down it beeps twice, and the screen is left with a H97 error code. I unscrewed the case to look at the electrical systems to see if there was any visible damage like shorted out wires, burnt fuses etc. I don't see any visible damage nor do I smell and electrical burnt smell. I run through the 3 power cycles again and get the same result back to the H97, except this time I notice this intermittent buzzing sound coming from somewhere in the microwave. Its almost like something is switching on and off with this buzzing sound. I don't know if this is normal or not but something tells me its not. The fan in the back is running but theres a little fan on the top the isn't running while its powered on. I don't know if that normal or not either. I don't know if this is something I can fix myself or not. I'm pretty handy and mechanically inclined but have never worked on a microwave before so I sorta don't know what I'm doing. Any tips or answers would be appreciated. I posted a video of it on youtube if this helps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W84m_ovmeJU&feature=youtu.be
