I have an A5 with an E-grip.. and for whatever reason it's not making that constant ticking noise when I pull the trigger.  Also, when I pull the hammer back and pull the trigger it doesn't release it back to the original position.... (by the way.. I don't have the air hooked up).  Can anyone tell me if this is a solenoid problem??  Oh, I already replaced the battery too!  (that would have been too easy!)  Confused

look at the light inside the grip and pull the trigger, what does it do?
 
If it does nothing, chances are the tab on the micro switch is missing,
or stuck down. Take the grip off, loosen the screws in the grip and
spread the halves apart slightly. Turn it on and try it. Does it click?
If so remove the safety and trigger assembly and gently bend the tab
on the switch so that it travels freely without sticking.
 
Otherwise try a new battery, from a different package, from a different store.
