If it were me I would try to take the thing apart and clean out whatever is causing the sticking with a q-tip and some denatured alcohol, rather than trying to spray something in there and hope for the best. But that may not be possible for you depending on how comfortable you are with your fine mechanical skills and disassembling a piece of equipment like that. If you do end up spraying something in there other than compressed air, take the batteries out first and don't put them back in until you've given time for everything to evaporate.
Thank you for the tips. I will try compressed air and see if that does anything. I am not very mechanically adept so taking the thing apart might not be a great option for me.

I hope I didn't end up with a bum purchase. :mad2:
