Usually means that the magnetron tube that creates the microwave is burned out. I am an EE and when this happens to a microwave I buy a new microwave rather than trying to replace the tube. Fooling with the tube and shielding can be dangerous.

Does the temperature settings numbers actually change the amount of heat generated by the microwave?
No. The microwave oven doesn't generate any heat. The heat results inside the meatloaf when the moisture and fat in the ground meat absorbs the microwave radio energy. The longer the absorption goes on, the more the temperature of the meatloaf rises. The temperature setting tells the oven how long to keep pumping radio energy into the meatloaf before it shuts off.
How does food get crispy in the microwave?
Things like hot pockets and microwave pizzas use what is called a susceptor (usually in the form of a sleeve or container). These susceptors convert microwave energy into heat, which help crisp up food in the microwave, countering the effects of sogginess that is synonymous with microwave ovens.
