What actually fails inside a broken garage door opener

The opener is a motor, a set of gears, and a circuit board working together, and any one of the three can take the whole unit down. A worn drive gear strips quietly over years of use until the motor spins with nothing to show for it. A circuit board can short out from a power surge or just age out after a decade or more of daily cycles. Sorting out which part failed is the difference between a quick repair and a full opener swap.
