Question

# What can I try myself when my villa garage remote stops working?

Replace the handset battery, then test a second handset and the wall button. A working wall button points to the handset or receiver. If nothing responds, confirm the opener has mains and that no photocell is blocked. If that fails, we test the receiver, pair handsets again and inspect the board.
