Re: garage door opener crapped out

I put in a Genie Elcelerator(sp) on my garage several years back. That thing yanks the 200lb+ wood door up so fast it'll make your head spin. My logic board is on the fritz right now so I just plug it in as needed. The garage is so full of crap right now I don't open it unless I need to. At the time I put mine in it was around $289 purchase price. I can get a new logic board for around 65 bucks. The wife's uncle installed garage doors and such until recently. I figured out it was the logic board by accident. One time late at night around 11:30 or so I hear the door open and the wife and I are in the livingroom watching tv. I told her to go in the bedroom with the dogs and I'll go out with the gun. I circle the house the back way and no one was to be found. We keep openers in the work trucks and I thought someone had gotten into them and opened the garage door. I called the uncle the next day and he said to get a logic board and it'll be good to go. He said it's the easiest money he's ever made on the Genies......Mikey
