| I have 2 craftsman garage door openers...1 15 years old, 1 3 yrs old. We had a bad thunder storm last night and the old opener works fine, but the new one doesn't. The lights are on and the diagnostic light blinks 5 times meaning unit overheated. Do i have any option other than replacing the $78.00 logic board? I hate to put that money into this unit if something is just out of sync. Thanks. (I have unplugged unit and switched breaker on and off several times.) |

| Odds are it is the logic board just as you think. |

| Same problem here same day (eastern MA). Not sure whether I'll replace the board or the opener... Do the plug-in surge suppressors for GDOs help at all? |

| I am not sure about the surge suppressors as I don't live in lightning country and have no experience with them. I really am sceptical about what can help with lightning. I think I would hedge my bet and install them though. |
