    Thanks so much! We are 64 and 65 years old and could not figure out how to program a generic opener. Went right out and followed your directions-took minutes. Really appreciate your taking the time!

    This video was great! So helpful. It took me 2 minutes. Done. Some local guy wanted to charge me $160 to come out and do this. Instead I watched this video and learned I could easily do it myself with the right knowledge. Thanks!

    Thank you so much. I had changed keypads earlier in the day. Got the keypad working but the remotes stopped. Did the procedure first on the handheld remote, and it worked. Then I did the second one that is part of the car and that one worked, too. Before I saw your video, I was seeing dollar signs for two new remotes. You are doing good, really appreciate the help.

      I keep one of those multi drivers in the junk drawer. Unless I need serious torque. Then, we pull out the other ones.
      The 20 buck ones (NOT cheap Aldi junk, get a decent Dewalt or something) with the bits in the handle.

Does that mean its my batteries that need a bigger size? Or my remote needs to be reprogrammed? Im so confused and need to open my garage for the winter

    Thank you! Took a while to find the learn button, it was quite small and out of the way. Took two tries to make it work and I did not hear a "click" like he says, but the light on the learn button blinked twice when it had learned the new remote and worked wonderfully after that!

  • @ef4266
    @ef4266 7 років тому +6

    I just tried to do this, but my Chamberlain opener (Model 450) DOESN’T HAVE A LEARN BUTTON. For those looking at this video and in the same predicament, here’s how to program your opener another way: If you have a similar opener unit to mine, you’ll notice that where the “learn button” should be is instead a row of little tiny switches (I think these are called “DIP switches” in computerland). There are 9 of them, and each one is set to 1 of 3 possible positions: Up, Middle or Down. Now, remove the back of your remote, and inside on the circuit board you’ll see a similar row of switches. Now you just need to make the position of each corresponding switch match. You can either change the opener’s switches to match the remote’s, or vice versa. I changed the opener to match the remote, and that worked. (Didn’t try it the other way around, but logically that should work just as well). I used a tiny flat blade screwdriver to flip the switches. Anyway, hope this helps some folks out there.
