My remote used to work. Now it doesn't. Where do I start?
Fresh CR2032 or 3V battery, tested with a multimeter. 60% of the time that's the fix. Next, check that the wall button still works, if it does, the opener is fine and the remote or receiver is the problem. If the wall button doesn't work either, you probably have a tripped breaker or a logic board issue.
Will a universal remote work with my old opener?
Most of the time, yes, if the opener was made after about 1993 when rolling-code security became standard. Pre-1993 openers used DIP-switch dial codes and only certain universal remotes handle those (Clicker KLIK1U, Chamberlain 953EV).
