This was something I should have thought of doing and sharing, simply because as an old photocopier engineer, it's something we did to free up sticking solenoids back in the 70's - operate them in quick succession several times. However, I must add that it was only a temporary fix and could only be performed so many times before the solenoid had to be changed. With frequent use in a camera, chances are it will remain free and active, but don't think it will last for more than a few years tops!
