When the torsion bar snapped on the garage door mechanism, I had a pro come and replace it. Looks simple to do on the YouTube videos, but there's also a lot of potential energy stored in those wound up springs, and I didn't want to accidentally impale my head with one of those winding sticks.
But when the panel/button went out, I just replaced it myself. It a little doing, but I traced the problem (of why the garage door opener would sometimes open by itself!) to the panel. I ordered a replacement. It worked...for about 3 weeks, and then the same problem recurred. I think I went through another replacement panel in short order before I decided screw it. Instead of the fancy one with the internet connectivity and time delay and all that jazz, I just installed the cheapo/basic one with the open-close and light switch features. No problems since then.
