Ryobi Surge Damage to Electronics

Ryobi opener does not respond to any input after a lightning storm or power surge.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Burned logic board components, Damaged power supply, Corrupted firmware, Shorted RF module

Safety first: Unplug the opener before inspection. Do not attempt board-level repairs unless qualified.

1. Check outlet and breaker: Confirm the circuit is live and the breaker is not tripped.
2. Inspect opener: Look for visible burn marks or melted components inside the motor head.
3. Attempt reset: If the display still works, perform a factory reset via the Ryobi menu.
4. If dead: A non-responsive unit after a surge almost always requires replacement of the logic board or entire motor head. Contact Ryobi or a technician.
