**No.
It's lucky you are an ER nurse. You'll reconise some faces when they wheel you in. That's if you're lucky. More likely, you'll kill yourself. Microwave ovens are potentially extremely dangerous items to work on.

Assuming we're not being trolled-
Well, put it back where you found it. If it's just a ground cable from the control board screw it to the chassis. The wire may have a "memory" and point you to where it was connected at first. Look at the grease and crap on the wires to see where it may have gone. Metal will be clean anyplace there was a screw.
watch out for that filter cap- they need to be shorted before you touch anything. Don't trust a bleed resistor- they're just for keeping noise levels down when discharging those caps.
