I'm going to lube up the moving parts to see if that makes a difference. I tweaked the travel and force buttons again yesterday, hopefully that fixes it. Normally after I run the garage door a couple of times when it finally opens up, it seems fine. But whenever I let it sit oversight and try next day, the door has issues opening.
I'm already expecting to buy a new garage opener unit considering the age of this thing. But wanted to see if I can fix it DIY.

Even with a burnt bulb you'd hear the relay clicking if it was trying to flash. If you don't hear that there's no obstruction.
Opening by itself in the middle of the night, I'd replace it. Can you install a direct drive side mount unit? Liftmaster/Chamberlain and Genie have some residential units, really quiet, backup battery is possible, no wear and tear on the door itself as it's turning the shaft. I have an outside drum and double tracks, they said it couldn't be installed but it worked out just fine.
