Am I a genius or not? With my new garage door confused and dead in the water (no up. no down), I got out the instruction book and read 40 pages of stuff. I checked the circuit breaker box and then went out and bought both LED and Halogen light bulbs (thinking the old ones may have burned out), got out the ladder and fiddled with the
engage/disengage lever--all to no avail. Was about to call Lowes and get an installer/repair guy ($100.00 or so) to come out, when I thought I'd try my old tried and true method I use for resetting my TV. I simply went to the outlet and pulled the plug. Then I waited five minutes and then plugged it in again. Voila! Garage door got unconfused and engaged. It's now working perfectly. That and finger-crossing that it continues to work, is a sure sign of genius in my book!
(See previous April 1 blog) Genius = 1 IT = 0
Oh Yes! Persistence and back to the known. It's interesting that many of the calls to the PC group involve the need to plug back in the 1 or more plugs or turn off and back on the computer. Voila. Resets the objects "brains" :-) Loved this one and was even concerned for you a bit on the ladder.
