switch on the remote has developed cracked solder joints.

Should be visable on a workbench with a magnifying glass?

Usually, but I've missed so many solder cracks that I usually just
resolder at least all the high-stress joints, such as the switch leads,
connectors, or anything heavy or hot.

I scrounged a compatable remote and set the code. Does the
same thing. Looks like the problem is in the receiver board.

Another possibility is that the stranded antenna wire in the overhead
unit has cracked about 1/4" from the circuit board, due to it wicking
up solder and being vibrated by the motor, but you won't see anything
because the insulation will remain intact.

But I can strip the insulation to ckeck for this condition?

Much thanks,
