Have any of the brands solved the problem of fried boards yet?
I have a Stanley that worked for about two years before it wanted a new
board.  I've been opening my door manually ever since.

 From reading the reviews on Sears.com, I'm hesitant to buy another.

Anyone have an opener that's been trouble free for say...10 years?
Or is that too much to expect?
