I guess checking the activator motor would be the first thing. Explanation of this post Link

I hate electric cut outs; they fail way too often for my tastes. I'd replace it with a cable driven unit or a vacuum unit... vacuum being my least favorite of those two, but still much better than electric. With a cable driven unit you can literally feel if the unit isn't operating.

That doesn't prove a thing... my garage door opener is so weak right now that the signal can't make it through my windshield but the light comes on. Test the battery properly.
