Trouble with garage door remote
Hi,
We have a LiftMaster 3280 that was installed about 4 years ago. It came with a remote that worked fine until at least six months ago. We hardly ever use this remote because our car has built-in buttons that we were able to program to operate the opener. We use the in-car button frequently, and it still opens and closes the door with no trouble. The LiftMaster button mounted on the garage wall also works flawlessly. I use the LiftMaster remote when I ride my bike; the last time I used it was in the fall. Now the thing appears to be dead. Replacing the battery made no difference. I attempted to re-teach the remote via the instructions in the manual, but that also made no difference. The remote could be completely dead, but I find that hard to believe since it's just been sitting dormant on a shelf for six months. Is there anything else I can do to troubleshoot this thing? I have a multimeter and some really basic appliance repair knowledge. Can I somehow confirm that the electronics are fine, and this is just a code "learning" problem? Or do I just need to give it up and buy a replacement? TIA, Stavros |
