You can easily identify broken spring if the coil separate in two pieces.

3) Loose garage door cables. There is one system called torquemaster, manufactured by Wayne Dalton, where torsion springs are hidden inside the tube and springs can not be visually inspected. For this system most common sign for broken springs would be loose cables or cable would come off the cable drum.

4) Door is too heavy. To check how heavy the door feels, simply pull on the red rope to disconnect motor from the door. Try to lift the door with your hand. Balanced door with proper working springs should feel very light. You should be able to lift it with one finger without putting too much force. Also properly balanced door should stay at any position you lift it, without shooting up or falling down.

CABLE REPAIR

The cables are attached to the bottom brackets of the garage door on bottom end and a cable drums on top of the door. Cable drums together with torsion springs fixed on a shaft. When shaft spins, cables wounds on a cable drum and the door lifts. Cables have most tension when door is few inches lifted off the ground, at this moment the whole weight of the door is supported by cables. As door goes up on the track the tension on the cables gradually reduces since now portion of the weight is supported by horizontal track. Cables have very little tension when door is in full upright position and lays completely on the horizontal track.

Keep in in mind - when garage door lifts or is stuck in any lifted position, cables are under extreme tension and any repairs are extremely dangerous and may result in serious injuries and property damage.
