After owning 2 mighty mule 500 gate openers and having the last one also fail with a bad control board as did the first one, i decided to not buy their overpriced replacement boards. I removed all of the insides, with the exception of the working motor and screw shaft; then from Amazon, bought 2 12v relays to mount inside the housing to operate the motor direction and a remote 12v controller to operate the relays. Pressing button A to open and button B to close I paid under $40 dollar for needed parts.
I aready had a solar panel and deep cycle battery and plan to add a web based remote controller for added ease of use. Next it will be changing out the Mighty Mule motor with a garage door opener
