SOURCE: Microwave Buttons Not Working
The cycling of your electricity probably didn't hurt it.
Chances are moisture or grease has gotten into the controls. That can ruin the keypad.
The way to prevent that is to be sure you have the microwave's hood vent exhaust fan running whenever you are cooking on the stove top.
If you (or someone you know) might want to replace the keypad yourself, I have uploaded a handy guide with pictures showing you what's typically involved.
You can usually find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here.
There
should also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the
control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is
very helpful when troubleshooting & testing.
If you would like to have us do this for you, we do that for $39.95 plus part costs.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you need more help.
We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

SOURCE: the house fuse that runs the circut the microwave
There is a fuse inside the microwave oven but i don't recommend opening the oven and changing it. There are high voltages inside even when the oven is disconnected from the mains.
But if you are careful enough, you can change it. If it has a electronic control (With a digital display) maybe there is another fuse on the controller board, near the front panel.
Before even opening the oven, make sure it doesn't work on another power outlet.
And make sure you change it with the same type and rating of fuse!
