Default Fixing garage door opener?

We had a power outage yesterday so I had to use the manual disconnect
on my Stanley garage door opener. *When the power came back, I tried
to reconnect it, but the part of the traveler connected to the rope
wouldn't snap back into the slot as its done in the past, and as a
result the traveler won't connect to the chair. *It seems as though
some spring is broken or out of place---in fact, I can see a spring in
the slot in the traveler. *I know this is a vague description, but I'm
hoping that someone could suggest a way to fix this. *Even better
would be fixing it without taking the whole opener down!

Any suggestions would be very welcome. *Thanks!!!


I just run my opener a cycle and it pops back in by itself, thats what
I saw my repair guy do to it when he was working in it, my stops that
hit the switches are on my chain, I dont know how yours signals the
motor unit when and where to stop.
