Whirlpool microwave – shorted curcuit board – any hope of a fix?

My Whirlpool MH1150XM microwave night light shorted and burned part of the circuit board. Figured it’s shot if I can’t fix so I can’t mess it up worse than it is. I soldered some small solid wire in where connections were burned. Didn’t fix it. Still exactly the same. Control panel works but no functions work. Is there anything else I can check like fuses or resets or anything before I throw it away? Don’t really have cash to buy another right now.
This is a continuation from this earlier post.. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqgSb5Z7XyoFzVb75QzFRQjsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080731162823AAnluMU
Thanks in advance.

By shorting the light connections on the circuit board you have caused other damage to the board that probably can’t be repaired without replacing parts on the board. Look into a replacement board, but you will probably find it is cheaper to replace the microwave. Good luck.
