If it worked before and just quit it is a bad keypad. If there are other circumstances let me know.

Need device to operate more remote controls

The memory is limited and I think it is about 5 remotes including the keypad but there are older openers that are backwards compatible and will work with remotes with 9 position dipswitches. One model I am familiar with is the Liftmaster AD 800. You will have to call around to companies that handle Chamberlain and Liftmaster to see if they still have one. They will work with unlimited remotes as long as the switches are set exactly alike.

Craftsman 1/2 HP Garage Door opener problem

The remote and the keypad work through a signal sent to the receiver while the wall console, as you said it's wired directly to the opener, so it's likely that the receiver is shot. I'd try reprogramming the remote to just rule out the chance that all code wasn't erased first. (Press the learn button on the back of the operator head, stand back 5 feet and within 30 seconds slowly press the remote button a few times to see if it operates the opener). If this doesn't work, you can install an external LiftMaster universal receiver with the correct frequency and you should be good.
If there's a purple antenna hanging off the head, this is a 315 freq, use a 356LM, if black it's a 390 freq, use a 635LM receiver.
Then you'll have to reprogram your remote and keypad to the receiver.
Since there's also the issue with the light, there's also a possibility the circuit board got fried. Did you have any storms lately?

CHAMBERLAIN WILL NOT RESPOND TO REMOTES FROM STREET.

Sounds like "cross talk" interfence from the other operator. You can get a plugin external reciever that should work with your current remotes. Try to get as much distance as you can between the working operator and the new reciever.

Remotes won't work

Sounds like a frequency issue. A remote work like the radio in your where each station is on a different frequency. Some signal is interfering with you frequency (390Mhz) You could try another brand external receiver with new remotes or with that old of an operator you might just think about replacing the operator (don't go with "Wayne Dalton")
