If it's reversing during operation - probably a combination of needs a bit more force (ie you probably need it serviced) - or photoeyes are just a bit off, and the track twists a bit causing eyes to loose sight of eachother...

If it's just randomly opening - Disconnect the wall button from the opener (depending on vintage, it'll be a screw terminal with a red square beneath it - or a push to release clamp style that's also red. See if that resolves it - if it does... Congratulations - you've got mice, or a staple shorting that wire... Rerun a new wire.

The other 'new' random opening scenario of late - is the new chamberlain security+2.0 remotes have been seen to magically open some older openers.
Can you expand on this? My garage door opener will open at random sometimes and I have no clue how to troubleshoot it since it only happens once every couple of weeks. Any way to prevent this?
