Great video. I had a hard time removing the back cover. Now I know why.

Amazing disassembly and repair tutorial! I have used 90+% isopropyl alcohol (not Dollar Store brand though, it tends to leave a film) on PCB contacts before with good success. It doesn't work so well on rubber material though. Okay to use on the contact surfaces on the rubber though as far as I know. Probably warm water, mild dish soap, and a sponge might work well for the rubber piece. Repaired an old Playstation 3 controller I thought was a goner for years that way. What a total pain they superglued it together. They could have used screws and rubber gaskets on the back and battery cover to really keep it free from moisture. Manufactured to fail... Guess they gotta make constant revenue somehow. Hoping to repair ours instead of shelling out $35 for a new one. That money could be better spent to buy a HomeLink Repeater to link it with our vehicles lol.

It took a while to find a video that shows the opening and now I know why. It takes a lot of time and care to open with out breaking. Now I know why people just say to replace it. I didn't want to deal with that right now so I changed the code for now figuring the current code buttons were worn or dirty since the key pad gets used several times a day and it is working fine now. The ENTER button could go next though so I will a new one and take a shot at opening and cleaning the old one and if it goes well I will have a spare. THANK YOU!

Thanks for your great video an: explanation on how to open the back of this son of a gun. It’s nice to know I don’t nearly have to break my fingers when I open up my garage next time. Also, maybe not mentioned in the video, but using the rubber eraser from a pencil in rubbing it along all the contact points of the motherboard helps tremendously. I did not have to do any soldering.

As careful as I was, the unit would not come apart, the case edge just cracked. Replacements are fortunately available for about $20. The video was great, though knowing what is inside.

My Chamberlain was also too well glued. I think the plastic casing may also be too UV damaged to withstand flexing... I almost bought a no-name replacement, but then read a comment that the knockoff would not let you close the door just by pressing the enter button - it would be necessary to reenter the code. I ended up buying the original article, which has one-press close.

I started having a problem a few years ago with my sensors. One of them would stop working and I figured out it was when it would get really cold, way below freezing. Otherwise, it worked fine. I started having the problem again recently with some bitter cold weather, so I used a hair dryer on it for a few minutes and the light came on and started working. I then put an incandescent bulb near it to keep it warmer until I the temperature gets higher and I can replace the sensors.

It's $50, and you're just as likely to break so just pony up for the new keypad
