Got home from lunch with the wife, shut the garage door, heard a weird noise and my chain went limp (yeah, I know how that sounds.) Climbed up to see that the drive gear had completely sheered off....just got done ordering a whole new opener as this is apparently a typical problem for this model.
On a good note, the new one I bought has three times the light output in the garage, new (and better) sensors, a new outside keypad (mine never worked), a new indoor opener button (mine is a pos), and of course it's a new and quiter opener itself.
