If the motor is jumping in the closed position then something is likely causing a safety stop. The two reasons most commonly are that something is blocking the sensor or the torque is too high. As the door will open Torque is not the probable cause. It is likely something in the protective door block circuit preventing it from going closed. If you press and hold the close button will the door close momentarily? If so then there is definitely something telling it that it is not safe for it to close. If neither of those Solutions work then you probably have a circuit failure which was the cause of the fuse failure in which case the solution is to replace the genie.
This is not a sensor issue, I have a similar problem, sensors work fine, garage door is still fully functional, all operations, including safety sensors work properly, just the overhead lights flash. I suspect there was damage to the power board due to a power surge, going to order a replacement to see if it works, will let you know how it goes.
The lower sensors on the garage door rail are not aligned. Make certain you make an adjustment of the two sensors so they face each other in a strait line.
The eyes should have a light on them. Either red or green. If they are green then the eyes are ok. If there is no light on either eye, then this is the problem. If the eyes are okay, then I would check the motor. Make sure that it is getting power. Another thing that you can try is to unlock the door from the opener and see if the opener will move the chain by itself. The door could be jammed.
Do you mean the numeric keypad is no longer controlling the garage door? If so, have you changed the battery for the keypad? Frequently, if the battery is low, the keypad will stop working when the door is closed but works to close an open door. On most Chamberlain garage door openers, this is a 9V battery. You may need a small Philips screw driver to open the battery compartment at the bottom of the keypad.
After changing the battery, try the learn code procedure again. I've found it easiest to have two people involved when programming the keypad to the garage door opener. One handles the Learn button and the other types in the desired code.
