So the past few weeks my Chamberlain garage door opener has been quite finicky. Works intermittently, and most of the time i have to slide the opener button off the visor and move around in the car or even reverse back and forth until i can find a sweet spot to catch the signal. As you can imagine this is a major piss off when you back out of the garage trying to leave your house. I had it completely chalked up as a failed receiver logic board, so this morning was searching around where i could find a replacement receiver board instead of changing out the whole opener. As i was looking around, came across this youtube video:
Then it dawned on me.... a few weeks ago the light burnt out, and i popped two new LED light bulbs in and that's right around when it started acting up. I did kind of correlate the timing, but i figured i might have bumped the board or something while i was changing the bulb. never would i have imagined the bulbs themselves interfering with the signal.
Tonight i'm going to try and find some incandescent lights to use in there instead of LEDs (hope i can find an old one or buy one somewhere) and crossing fingers this will fix the problem.
anyways, wanted to share this in case anyone else runs into this problem before they rip their hair out. also curious if this has actually happened to anyone else? Funny thing is there is nothing on Chamberlain's troubleshooting website that i could find about it... very lucky to have come across that youtube video otherwise i'd have wasted my time swapping out the receiver logic board.
