How to stop the beeper and reset the "code'...

Question

emerson microwave oven will not stop beeping ..."code" light is constantly displayed How do you stop the beeping noise?

I have an Emerson MW9710W Suffix A microwave and it won't stop beeping either. It just started beeping at regular intervals and it displays 2, then a few minutes later 22, then 2:22 and finally 22:22 but none of the buttons work - its like its possessed... it's pretty crazy. I tried a hard reset to no avail. I got it as a present last December and can't find the warranty info at the moment - any help would be fantastic!
