Stanley Garage Door Opener - Dead - Let's Take A Look At The Circuit Board

This Stanley opener is from back in the '80s from what I looked up. We're gonna see if we can fix it. I quick lesson in troubleshooting. Also, you don't need to use the exact replacement parts for a quick fix (if it's your own project). I almost forgot to add this; The Regulator costs only $2.50 and the cross-reference part is an NTE981. Pretty cheap fix if you ask me. Beats going out to buy a new door opener for that price.

Do you know if this opener has a "learn" button? I was hoping to see if I could use a myQ smart remote with my stanley garage door. They say their compatible but maybe mine's too old? It looks similar to yours and says model 1200

I did not see anything like that on this unit. It has dip switches to set the remote to the opener.

I love old Stanley garage door openers like this. These are not just junk to me I would have fixed it!

[@ElectronicsEditor]

Yeah, it was worth fixing since it was only a regulator. One less thing in the landfill.

[@jdcalame6714]

Electronics Editor oh yeah! I’m glad you fixed it! I’m a garage door guy and you would be surprised at how many openers I managed to save!

Great video. Detailed presentation. I have just moved in to the house where one of these units is installed. Unfortunately circuit board has been removed. I would love to resurrect this old boy and could do with a replacement board. Could any one of you help please?

Stanley is better then chamberlain products including lift master and craftsman and genie products including overhead door
