This is common on all garage doors after about 7yrs. It is recommend to replace both springs at the same time due to the common life expectancy of the spring. Most Con-Artist charge about 250.00 – 300.00 to replace the springs or you can spend 170.00 to buy the springs and replace them yourself. On any note, all garage doors have a manual release with a string at the top that locks the door into position to be controlled by the electric garage door opener. You can release this lock by pulling the string down and manually lifting and holding the door in the open position. If the string is missing, you should be able to find the spring latch pin thingy and release it to manually raise the door.
Good luck,

:Ugh... my poor Z. This last weekend, I spent the whole weekend exercising it's demons, and I accomplished it, most triumphantly I might add. (about 20 hours of working on it)
:So, I drive back to my place from my parents (they have a real garage, with tools), and I park my car in my garage. So I go out today to go get in my car to go meet some friends down in SOMA and the damn garage door won't open, it's stuck shut, un-freaking movable =( I called the landlord, it's going to be two weeks before they can fix it. They think it's the spring that helps open it is busted. Ugh... now I have to take a ferry to my parents house for thanksgiving, and I won't be able to install my short throw shifter, or drive it for that matter until they can open it. I can't do laundry, get my fav. pair of sunglasses, get my cd's, etc... Dammit, I just did all that work and got it running so well. Anyway... how shitty is that? To top it all off, I am supposed to move to my new place in Hayes Valley on Friday, how am I going to do that now??
:No real point to this post.... I'm pissed, I think I'll bitch about it some more on craigslist!
