Your alot of help...This is a DIY website plus these older door openers are better built then the newer ones.
I hate to point out, but if your first step of troubleshooting is to ask a forum what's wrong instead of checking over the unit yourself and letting us know what you've already ruled out, maybe replacing the unit as a whole IS the best choice of options for you.
We don't know your strong points and weak points when it comes to electronics troubleshooting, so if you aren't willing to share what you have done so far, the simplest solution is for you to replace the whole unit, or call in a professional who can take the heavy lifting out of your hands, entirely.
To be honest, a garage door opener has the potential of being a danger to property and life, so its important that the person who works on it is capable of doing so safely.
