Your garage door opener probably uses discrete components (capacitor, inductor) to tune the garage door opener to the right frequency. More likely a chnage in one of these discrete components than something with any IC in there.

Chances are at least one of these components has a tiny-screwdriver-blade sized adjustment. If you are brave, you could open it up when you get home and it is acting up and try adjusting that screw in sort of 1/4 turn increments left and right to see if you can improve it. Chances are if you improve it hot that you will still do alright cold. BE CAREFUL TO REMEMBER WHERE THE SCREW WAS WHEN YOU STARTED! You want to guarantee being able to get back to where you started.

Enjoy,
