Yep, done that.  Basically it is unreliable.

I've been shooting it the last few nights, and it's been working most of 
the time.

Even tried to free it up with a tiny drop of lighter fluid - no go.

It's going to NJ by Monday latest.

So, in the meantime, I bought a Pana GF1.  It's in the mail, should / 
hope to be here today.
