That, I guess, will be my next step. I spoke with someone yesterday who had some of the same issues but, his turned out to be a travel stop motor problem where the cheap plastic gears were chewed away. He ended up replacing the unit, the same as mine, rather than continually throwing parts at it. The logic board is around $150.

My Genie screw drives are 20+ years old, and never any parts added to them.

I have had to clean & re-grease the screws about every 5-6 years, otherwise when the grease starts to dry out, there is too much friction to overcome, the motor feels the resistance and reverses directions. I would think that a chain drive would have similar problems.
