Default Genie Excelerator

Is this a washing machine? Sears often has exploded parts
diagram. You can see the machine with the transmission,
agiator, lid switches and so on.

I installed a Genie Excelerator opener about 5 years ago.
It has
worked well up until last night's nearby lightning strike.
We lost a
variety of electronic things. The opener still works except
for the
safety sensor system. The sending side is not lit and the
opener acts
as one would expect - It opens just fine, but you must hold
the button
to close it. Is there a common part that fails in these
situations? I
can order a new board or a new set of safety sensors, but I
thought
one of you might have a hint as to which one is more likely
to have
failed. The voltage across the two terminals is only a few
millivolts. That points to the board, but I suppose one of
the
sensors could have shorted. I think I'll go disconnect the
sensors
and see what the voltage does. In the mean time, any input
is
appreciated. ...Pat
