After replacing the linkage the problem never returned. In my case I borrowed the linkage from a machine in storage so I didn't even replace the solenoid. Note: The Shutter Linkage does not have a part number. You must order the Pattern Read Shutter Drive Assembly FM3-8902-000. My experience was with a c5030 but I thin k it has a lot of parts in common with your machine.
