If the Toshiba EM131A5C-BS microwave powers on but none of the buttons operate, possible causes and solutions include:

1. Control Lock is Enabled – Some microwaves have a child lock feature that disables the buttons. Check the manual for instructions on how to disable it.
2. Faulty Keypad or Control Panel – If the keypad is unresponsive, it may be defective and require repair or replacement.
3. Electrical Issue – Unplug the microwave for a few minutes and plug it back in to reset the control panel.
4. Door Not Properly Closed – Ensure the door is fully closed, as the microwave will not function if the door is not latched correctly.
5. Internal Malfunction – If none of the above solutions work, the control board may be faulty and require professional servicing.
