Lightning/Garage Door Opener Inoperative



Question:
My 12 year old Stanley T-120 garage door opener has stopped working after a recent lightning storm. The unit makes no movement or noise when using the remote, push button, or keypad. The storm also blew several fuses, two receptacles, and shorted the wiring in the circuit where the opener plugs into the wall outlet, all of which I have fixed.(there are some metal shelves along the wall that the wiring runs through, and the surge blew a small hole in the wall to get to them) The cord from the wall outlet to the opener tests okay. The insurance deductable is $250, so it would be cheaper to get a new opener. I have intermediate electronics ability, and would appreciate it someone could identify the most likely problem area(s) to start. Thank you.

Answer:
If you have elecronics ability then why are you even messing with the damage 1000000 can cause. How about the stressed components that will fail in a month, How about those sockets and bad fried wire. Get a electrician PRO to ck out your house and put in a new opener, and fix everything. 250 deductible thats cheap. My last lightning strike cost the ins co 23000, Basicly if its been hit what you dont fix today may fail tomorrow
