Garage Door Opener Remote Problem

[Smtwnwygrl]

We have a Genie brand garage door opener, but we don't have a remote.
We purchased the Genie remote that matches the year the garage door opener was made,
but the door would not respond to the remote.

I am wondering if this can be fixed. Maybe the board on the opener is broken?

Is there any alternative way to make it work?
Maybe we can use a universal controller to turn on/off the switch instead of relying on the opener's circuit?

Look up the model # of the opener and then get the programming instructions associated with that model #.
Also verify that the remote you have is compatible w/ the opener you have (not all Genie remotes work with all Genie openers).

Consider adding a MyQ (or similar) remote to the system.
It's basically a garage door button that is controlled through an app on your phone.

Sure the OP would have solved this by now...
