- Remove Old Board: Unscrew the wires and detach the ribbon cable. Remove any screws affixing the old board to the opener chassis.
- Install New Board: Position the new 41A5021-1E circuit board in place. Secure it with the screws previously removed.
- Reconnect Wires: Reconnect all wires to their corresponding terminals on the new board, ensuring a secure connection. Reattach the ribbon cable.

Installation typically takes 15-30 minutes. If you encounter difficulties, consult a qualified technician.

Remote Control Programming
After installing the new circuit board, you will need to reprogram your remote controls to the garage door opener.
- Locate the "Learn" button on your garage door opener unit. This button is usually red or purple.
- Press and immediately release the "Learn" button. The learn indicator light will glow steadily for 30 seconds.
- Within 30 seconds, press and hold the button on your remote control that you wish to operate your garage door.
- Release the remote control button when the opener lights flash or you hear two clicks. This indicates the remote has been successfully programmed.

- Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure.
- Keep the garage door opener unit clean and free from dust and debris.
- Consider installing surge protectors for your garage door openers to protect electronic components from power fluctuations.
