How to fix an automatic garage door that just clicks?

Alright so my garage door wont go up or down. The 2 sensors that are on the door itself to make sure it doesnt close on anything are good, they have power and blink when u step between them. There is power to the circuitboard itself except when i press the button to open the garage, all it does is click. No lights flash or anything the motor just clicks. This happened out of nowhere, its not like the motor was going bad and slowly gave up. Everything was working fine 1 day ago.

Any tips to diagnose this? I was thinking the circuit board might have a bad solder connection or something?

All advice is appreciated, i just want to know some steps on what to look for and how to diagnose the issue and fix it myself.
