SOURCE: garage door remote won't open the garage door
The little button with a padlock on the wall control is a "vacation" lockout feature that disables the remotes. There should be a small LED on the wall control that is always on steady. When the padlock button is pressed and released the LED should be constantly blinking (indicating the vacation lockout mode is active) and your remotes should be disabled. The wall control will still operate the door. Pushing the padlock button again should make the LED stop blinking and restore the door to normal operation.
SOURCE: Garage door only opens with wall unit
a component in the wall unit is failing , that makes the conection happen when the remote signal is recieved , ( it is recieving the remote signal but not sending it out to the control circuit for the motor )

The unit is in the lock mode, push and hold the lock button in for about two seconds and the green LED should stop flashing. Your remotes should work.
SOURCE: Remote will not operate garage door opener from outside garage
Will the remotes work in the garage? If yes but not outside with the door closed you might have radio interferace with your remotes. You might have to chage to a your reciever and remotes to a different brand (frequency). Sometimes it is less trouble to change out the operator. Chamerlain changed frequency from 390 (old) to 315 (new).
SOURCE: The wall button has a green light that is blinking
this just happened to us today as well. the wall pad has three buttons: one large back-lit button pad to open it and a lock button and a light button. the open button was blinking quickly and would open the door, but the car remotes did not work. I found that by pushing both the "lock" and "light" button at the same time for about 3 or 4 seconds, the back-lit "open" pad stopped blinking and went to steady green. I went back to the cars and checked the remotes there. both opened the door.
hope this helps someone out there
Use the pull cord and disconnect the opener from the door.
Operate the opener and let the carrier slide back away from the door.
Is the carrier moving smoothly when disconnected?
Next, lift the door by hand from the bottom to the top. Is it moving smoothly?
If not, lubricate the axles of all the rollers on both sides of the door.
Check the cable pulleys at the top sides of the door channel, lubricate them as
well. Are all cables in all the pulleys, there are 4.
After checking those things, there is a "up force" and "down force"
adjustment on the opener, try increasing the "up force" by turning the
adjustment in the direction of MORE force.
Give me some thumbs up if this helps you.
