Press the button and get nothing, or press it and get a hum and a click that never turns into the door actually lifting — either way, that's a garage door opener not working, and it's a different problem than anything wrong with the door itself, which usually still moves fine by hand. The gap between a door that works and a motor that doesn't is exactly where the diagnosis needs to start.

A silent garage door opener points to power, noise without motion points to gears
A unit that gives absolutely nothing when the button is pressed has usually lost power somewhere upstream — a tripped breaker, a dead outlet, or a motor that finally gave out after years of service. A unit that hums, clicks or grinds while the door stays put is a completely different situation: power is reaching the motor just fine, and the failure is mechanical, somewhere between the motor and the door itself.
Garage door openers original to a city that stopped growing decades ago
Brookside Village's population topped out at 1,671 residents in the early 1980s and has only inched back up to 1,548 since, which means the city never had a later building wave to bring newer openers into the housing mix. With median home construction dating to 1987, plenty of the openers still in service are original units that have simply outlasted their intended lifespan.
