I've got an old garage door opener with a 10-switch dip mechanism that works fine, but it's not very secure and doesn't connect with my new cars. I'm thinking about replacing just the opener box to upgrade to a more modern model with features like IR learning. How difficult and costly would it be for me to do this myself?

Replacing the opener isn't too difficult and you can find options under $300. Depending on the features you want—like internet connectivity or built-in cameras—the price may vary. Generally, the new unit will come with the necessary brackets to connect to your overhead door, so you shouldn't have too much trouble with installation, as long as you have a ladder.
So just to clarify, the new opener will already have all the needed hardware? That sounds easier than I thought!
