Thanks. Not going near the springs. I’ve seen many posts where people want to replace them themselves and everyone advises against it. I’ve worked on the motor unit before - the gears (nylon I think) had gotten chewed up somehow and I replaced them.
I was thinking there would be a chance of that. In researching the replacement circuit board they seem big into backwards compatibility.
I guess my question was whether the stats, e.g. number of teeth per inch, width, thickness on garage door belts are standardized/universal. It’s good information that you were able to reuse the chain and replacing it isn’t that hard to do, thanks!
Yes, clearly the motor itself works fine. When I said motor unit I meant the entire box which includes the circuit board electronics that’s failed. If the radio in the motor unit isn’t working I’m not sure the Meross is going to solve that problem.
I haven’t watched TV in many years so these are pretty old. Super disappointed they were canceled.
