A garage door won't open when it doesn't move at all, or lifts a few inches and stalls out, and the tricky part is that both a dead spring and a dead opener look almost identical from the driveway. Sorting out which one it is, before anything gets pried or pulled on, is what actually gets the door moving again the same day.

Garage door won't open — a spring problem versus an opener problem

Disconnect the opener using the manual release cord and try lifting the door by hand. If it's dramatically heavy or won't budge, the spring has failed and the opener was never the issue. If the door lifts smoothly on its own, the opener itself — motor, gears, logic board or a stripped drive component — is what's actually stuck, and the spring is fine.
