Power at the ceiling
The receptacle above the opener is checked before anything cleverer. A plug can work loose when a car door is slammed underneath it, a breaker or ground-fault device can trip during a storm and stay tripped, and an outlet that shares a circuit with a freezer or a workshop tool may have failed quietly. The technician confirms voltage at the receptacle, watches for the head unit's light and indicator when power is restored, and where the model allows it checks the transformer output and the small fuse on the board.
A silent opener is very often an unpowered one, and this step settles that early.
