I turned it apart, removed the rear, front and top plate and was able to reach the actuator, so I poured some alcohol inside, moved it a bit and reassembled it. Is working perfectly now. For how long, I don't know, but now I know is not a difficult job to do, so I don't think the shop will actually charge me too much to replace it completely, giving that there are new actuators in e-bay for 8 bucks.
