Power went out during the storm when I wasn’t home today. The garage door openers (both) will go up via the remote in the cars but won’t go down (starts to but immediately reverse and stop). The wall switches and LEDs in the door eye/sensors are out so basically everything on the low voltage side seems to be dead. Does that sound like circuit boards? There’s no visible damage.
 
Wow! Know nothing but push the button, or pull the release cord. Wonder if you unplug the unit, for 20 seconds or so, if it will reset? I've had several power flashes, & at least 1, No power, since my doors were installed, but No problems.

I tried both unplugging and turning off from the breaker - no joy....
 
There’s got to be a bad fuse or something for the low voltage things. Maybe on the unit itself. Maybe the transformer went bad? It happened to me on my doorbell. Replaced transformer and good as new.

I’m thinking those are built in to the logic boards? Odd that it partially took out both openers though. Just hate to drop $200 for a pair of them and be wrong.
