"goes ZAP" ?

Are you hearing snapping or popping sound?

Neither?  It goes ZAP, not SNAP or POP (it does CRACKLE slightly after the ZAP though).

It's NOT a problem with inputs.  The screen goes black, nothing displays, at all.  TRUST ME.

Sounds like PSU to me. If one of the capacitors has failed, the PSU could be supplying the wrong voltages, which would cause things to appear to be "alive," but non-functional.

seems most likely.

I was asking if you heard either of them at all, not giving you a choice *rolls eyes*.  However, you did answer the question :)

I would try using your oven before purchasing that expensive of a component that might not be the issue or the right model.  Note: I'm referring to the boards with potentially explosive components like capacitors removed first, not the PSU. Honestly, your best bet might be to just take it to a small electronics shop and ask them to figure out what's wrong (they'll charge you, but it would be a lot less than ordering random components or trying to fix it with the wrong equipment).

Capacitors will only blow once, the "Zap" sound is going to be electricity arc'ing off the transformer.
