Update, the piece of ---- doesn't want to work today. It seems like at night time it works perfect, daytime it doesn't work for ----.
Everytime I go to use it at night time, it works fine. Everytime the GF goes to use it in the morning or daytime it doesn't work.

Re: Garage door opener experts, where you at??
Ok here is the deal. The button on the wall works it perfectly fine, all day and all night long. As soon as you hit one of the remote buttons all hell breaks loose and it goes crazy. After that even the button on the wall won't work right. It will just move a tiny bit, then stop and go back the other direction a bit, then stop. WTF would cause something like that??

Symptoms change with temperature - suspect bad electrical connections. Especially cracked solder joints. Look at any circuit board, top and bottom, under good lighting + with a magnifying glass unless your eyes are top notch. Might just need to be reflowed, right?

The main unit shouldn't spaz out if the remote is sending garbage. It might be in the circuitry that handles the reciever and feeds it to the micro, though. Same problem as you are thinking of but it occurs on the main unit side of things.
