I have tried an hours and at least 12 times to reprogram my Chamberlain but I believe some of the numbers after six years and I've tried to reprogram it so I guess I'll end up buying one online at your suggestion so thank you so much

You're a genius.. it was just the 2 buttons I used that worn out so it wouldn't light up.. I tried some other buttons and the led lit right up. Reprogrammed and it worked again ! Thank you

Thank you so so much!! It needed a battery and I had no idea!! We just moved in and the owner had no clue as to how it worked so your tip helped immensely!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Changed the batteries and worked for me. I had to reprogram after changing the batteries though and the door had to be closed. It didn't work initially when I tried reprogram while the door is open. Just a side note. Really appreciate the tip and that definitely saved me some money.

[halruzal]

Thank you very much. I had to press the learn button and reprogram and it worked.

Dude! I'ved watched no less than some 10-15 videos regarding "garage door keypad issues" and your vid just helped solve my issue, ...sort of! I've tried replacing the battery, ...some 3 times, ...I even extended the antenna wire (as done on another Youtube channel), ...to changing the code no less than 5-6 times! So, I just tried what you just showed, ...that is, "Press the individual numbers to see if the keypad lights up"! After doing this, ...I discovered that no less than 4 of the numbers on the keypad are bad. Some wouldn't like up, ...and some would slightly light up or double flash! I'm sure this "double flash" registers as if the number was pressed twice. So, I isolated 4 numbers that only light up once and also lit up every press of the numbers. I made a new code and the garage door opens every single time, ...and get this, ...I only have to lightly "press" the number! Essentially, it looks like the pad got some heavy use over it's lifetime!

Now for the no so good part! After trying to resolve this issue, ...for some time, ...research which Keypad to buy, I placed my order on Amazon about one hour prior to viewing your video! Oh well, I can always keep this in my memory bank!

Thank you! Some of the numbers on my keypad were not lighting up. Just changed the code after 2 hours of trying everything else!

[STUCATZOMARINE]

Thanks so much . I pressed the alarm on the main garage door motor and the key pad worked automatically!

I bought a new keypad recently and to my surprise, I found it used battery’s!!! I don’t recall ever changing the batteries on my old ones. My wife thinks we did at least once over the 30yrs since having them installed. Either way, long battery life! 😂😂😂

[humanmorehappily]

Thanks so much Adam!! I determined our #2 was faulty, reset the code, and voila! Thank you!!

[sandrawallace]

Thank you very much it was my battery 😊

[debj]

I’ve tried changing the passcode. I enter the current code and press # and it flashes very fast and for a long time. I then try to enter a new code but it continues to flash. Any ideas?

Another thing not mentioned but which worked for me was to do the following. It's a little bit of a pain but it could work for you.

The house we bought in 2012 had a Domino keypad unit. The house had been unoccupied for a couple of years and I had no idea how to use the opener so we didn't use it for ten years. When I finally got a notion to get it working, I tried everything, including replacing the batteries which, to my amazement, still had enough juice to make the numbers light up when I pushed them.

I took the keypad off the door frame, pried open the back which had six screws, and exposed the green computer board. Each number on the number pad has a little rubber or silicone dot that is supposed to contact a little square of circuitry on the circuit board when you press the number. Even though the unit was sealed, apparently it is possible for dust or moisture to still get in there and cause the number not to work when you press it. I took a q-tip and some alcohol (neither of which will do any harm to anything on the circuit board) and cleaned off each of the squares, including "ENTER" and all of the rubber dots. Voila! The unit worked just fine.

I have a genie pro. If I change the keypad do I have to interact with the learn button on the motor?

[winstonwilson]

Thanks the garage keypad quick fix was helpful.

[spikecron]

Switched to new numbers and it works great! Thanx.

[sidneywhite]

I have a Genie brand that suddenly quit. I changed the battery. But the keypad button lights do not all work some light but not all. It’s 20 years old. New Pad?

[dianafergus]

I changed the battery twice and it didn't work. I never thought about changing my pass due to numbers being worn out. I'll try your suggestions. Either way am sure to save$$$. Thanks for the tutorial 👍
