HELP - Flipper stuck in UP

I have a nice Batman Forever but the upper flipper is now getting stuck in UP. I must say upfront that I have very limited “repair ability” but I am learning - slowly. The flipper returns to normal position after every drain. The photos show that I have cleaned the mechanics of the flipper and it all appears smooth. Can anybody suggest what I would need to do from here? All other flippers work well. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Ok, it’s likely an electronic problem with the transistors for the flipper.

Do you have a manual and can you solder boards?
 
Or a dirty optic inside the cabinet (other side of the flipper button) - easy to clean with a cotton but for a quick non invasive check.

Thanks Pooman. Yes to a manual but no soldering ability - yet! I have booked an expert to come round on Friday and will watch what he does. Cheers

Got excited when I saw this. Have cleaned the switches inside the cabinet but to no avail. Thank you though - worth a go and a good tip anyway 👍🏼
