Main Control Board

How it Works:

If the microwave turns itself on, there may be a problem with the touch pad buttons touching intermittently. If the the touch pad is working okay, the main control board is defective and will need to be replaced.

That one is over my head. Since these are so dangerous to work on, it might be time to chunk this one. One nice thing is that you can get parts for it here: http://www.partselect.com/Models/HVM1540...
