This opener is about 15 years old. The number on the printed circuit board
is 14PC366B. Will have to get out the ladder again to get the Craftsman
model number. I'll get back with you.

Just trying to fix this board. If the door operator goes up and down by
depressing the switch I'll be happy. Don't care whether the remote works or
not.

I'd check the remote circuit anyway since there's a trace from it with
a logic signal to indicate when the remote has been activated. If it
blips when you press the button, very likely the power circuitry is OK.

Quite often the problem is dirty contacts on the relay. Cleaning them with
light emery paper usually has worked for me...
