I know this is vague and could be any one of numerous problems, but maybe one of you has had the same thing. I have a Apollo over-the-range microwave. It has power because the two clock 'dots' are lit and the inside light works. Beyond that nothing works. Did not quit working while in use, tt had set for over a month and next time out, nothing. I can't seem to see how you can get into it without taking it out. I's built in and looks like a bear to remove. any info would be appreciated.
OK here's a shot in the dark. I have this exact unit in my 5th wheel, but its been working great. As you know, you see the two dots after plugging in on shore power, and before you go through the motions of resetting the correct time of day with the clock function. Can you at least do that much? That would tend to demonstrate (I think) if the logic board is still working OK.
Was your unit plugged in when a storm with lightning hit power lines? If so, some parts of it could have gotten zapped, and the most likely to get zapped while the microwave is not working is the logic board rather than the actual microwave generator.
Try that and let us know

I don't think it is very difficult to remove. I know in my Montana it was easy. Just remove the face trim which in my case was held in place by six screws. Unplug the unit. Just lift the unut and pull out of the slide brackets that hold it in place. In my case it takes five minutes.
I had had so much trouble with my Apollo I just replaced it with a Kenmore convection/microwave that fit in its place.

Went by instruction manual to set clock like you asked. No response,dots are lit and the light comes on when you open the door, thats it. Any thoughts now?
dixiesmama, that is bas news. You have evidence that you have power to the logic board, but its not responding to keyboard inputs...
No choice but to take it down now.
2 options. Buy a new one or check if this one can be repaired.
With the price of parts and labor these days, chances are its going to be marginally more expensive to buy a new one, but they you have a warranty on your unit.
We had that happen once and just shut off the breaker and turned it back on, maybe it just needed a rest, but it started working. Did have to take it out later (no problem) and change the rotating motor, and noticed several fuses inside that might have blown or came loose on yours. If you are not qualified to work on HIGH VOLTAGE electronics circuits, get someone who is to check them out.
Good luck, we are just discovering all this thing will do.
