Oh, my gosh! Thank you so much for this video. I had no idea it required a battery. I'm an 80-year-old widow who just saved herself over a hundred bucks thanks to you!! I'm now a subscriber!

[derickshanahan]

I was smart enough to check the battery before coming to YouTube... but not smart enough to change the password to see if the numbers had worn out! Works like a charm now, thanks!

Sounds crazy only have an issue with keypad in the winter. As soon as it warms up no problem.

[dr.koerner]

My keypad has not been working for quite some time, even after I changed the battery. I thought I would give it one more try before I bought a new one. I put in a fresh battery and tried the old code and I got nothing. I took your suggestion to try and reprogram and it actually worked! I appreciate you and I have subscribed.

[truthtone]

thank you sir. Went out and changed the battery and now the keypad works fine. I told my wife I just cant be doing this stuff for free that she will have to pay. She gave me a high five.

You just saved me $50. I was just about to call it quits and buy a new one, when it turns out I’ve been using the same numbers and my buttons were worn out. Thank you!

I always thought it was hardwired, never occurred to me that there was a battery, I changed the battery, and it works!! Thank you for the tip!

THANK YOU - Spent hours trying to follow owners manual instructions to the T. Watched this video and BOOM! I immediately knew that our buttons were wore out from same 4 numbers for years. Used 4 new number and BOOM, worked first time. I will now order a new one from your Amazon link. Thank YOU!

I googled to search buying a replacement keypad because we had to press combination keys hard and it didn't work most of the time. Then searched for a how to video. Yours popped up, and was so clear and explanatory. What a great tip to change to unused numbers! It took 5 minutes to reset and bingo...works like new. Thank you! Liked and subscribed😊

Sir, you just saved me a BUNCH of money! 💰 I did everything you said, but what REALLY helped me was you showing me where to locate the screws to remove the keypad since it's not near the garage door, but around the corner right outside my front door. You're a Godsend, sir. For making this video, I say: THANK YOU!!!

i can't believe how much time you saved me! i was getting ready to buy a new keyless remote. i never thought to change the numbers used for the code! used new numbers and now it opens on one try!!!

[bmbutler]

Thank you SO MUCH! I had no idea what was wrong with my keypad. It’s 10 years old so thought it needed replacing. In 39 seconds you helped me fix the problem: it just needed its 9V battery replaced. Whew. Thanks!!!

[scottym]

Never had a keypad till I moved into my condo. I've lived here 3 1/2 years, never knew about pressing enter only, to close. Will check out the battery also and how to change the code. Thanks Scott. Always something good here. :)

[romanrobert]

I also thought the keypad was hardwired to the house's power. DOH!
Thank you very much for your video. Saved me an embarrassing call to the garage door opener installer. I would have looked like a schmuck.

I had changed the battery but it still wasn't working -- I didn't realize the number sensors might wear out. I tried a new set and *bingo* it worked. Thank you!

[apackwestbound]

Extremely well made video with excellent concise information, no nonsense, no hype just valuable education. Thank you, liked & subscribed (how could I not).

[tedmartin]

OMG! Thanks so much. I was thinking that I had to replace the remote and after watching this I realized that we had just worn the numbers out by using the same ones for so long. The remote works again. Yay! You really can learn from watching others do things.

[stevealexander]

I thought mine was broken/insecure. I didn't realize that only "open" requires the 4 digit code. Thank you. You are better than the Chamberlain documentation.

[jimdrapervideo]

Thank you for the video! I had changed my combination because the keypad numbers worn down. I was able to break open the keypad and clean off the circuit -with steel wool - where the pads had left residue on the circuit. Glued back together and all good!
