5 flashes of the LED is the code for "RPM sensor or motor overload." You can try unplugging the opener for about 15 minutes to see if it resets itself. Normally if it is the RPM sensor the motor will run for a few seconds and then turn off. Is the door not opening or not closing? Just checking to make sure.

MY LIFT MASTER 1245 IS HUMMING AND GARAGE DOOR STOP HALF WAY DOWN LIGHT BLINKS

If the main light is blinking 10 times check your door sensors. Make sure they are pointed at one another and the small light on each one is lit and not flickering. Tweak them a bit. If you cannot get both lights to come on you have a bad sensor.

My liftmaster will not operate and my led light blinks 5 times. What does that mean? Thanks

That code is RPM sensor or motor overload. When the RPM sensor goes bad the motor will still run for a short time. If the motor has been run several cycles it will turn off on the thermal overload and won't reset for about 15 minutes. The resetting is automatic. Is your door stuck in the open position?

Craftsman 1/2 horsepower not working

Five flashes indicates possible RPM sensor failure. First try unplugging opener for five minutes and plug back in. If it still does not work replace RPM sensor.
