Receiver may have gone bad. What brand is the unit?

Just bend it a little until it works. It is not hard to do and you don’t need to pay anyone.
It will never affect opening only closing

This surprised me as all three remotes were not working I assumed that it had to have something to do with the opener itself. I drove my car out to rest the Home Link and to my bewilderment, it was working without being re programmed.

So I called Romac back to cancel the appointment and relayed that I though that the whole thing was very strange. The woman on the phone asked me if I had had a power outage recently. I recalled that a few days ago, our power went out for about three seconds and came back on. Evidently, when this happens, the computer loses the connection to the remotes. I asked why the Home Link suddenly worked and she said that often when the remote that was originally used to program Home Link is reset, the Home Link will work as well.

So if you have a problem and you have lost power no matter how briefly, that could be your answer.
Not true but glad it's working now. Some things have no explanation. Get a liftmaster. MVP is the least secure openers out there. They are not rolling code which is way more secure.

Only if held down to override. If touched and released it will open but not close.
