What exactly happens to an iPad when you put it in the microwave oven?
Jordan asked:
I saw a YouTube video of someone microwaving their iPad while it was running. Within 2 seconds of starting up the microwave oven, the screen went blank. But it took almost 30 seconds before the screen started to warp and shrivel up, and a minute before the iSmoke started to fill the oven.

From a technical perspective, what exactly happened to the iPad in the first 2 seconds that caused the screen to go blank and stop working?
The microwave radiation was converted to a current in the circuits of the IPod
which was enough to fry the transistors. Irv S
