I see solenoids sticking a lot on Cannon & HP. I always just take the deteriorated pad/sticker off and put it back together. I had heard that this could cause the plate to magnetize, and the solenoid would continue to stick. I've only witnessed this actually happen once, on the pickup on a HP 4200. So I just bent the plate that had the pad on it, so the metal plate didn't contact it or the magnet directly. Do any of you guys bother replacing the solenoid or adding your own tape?
