no starting / manually override of the solenoid

Two months ago the troubles in starting up my engine occured for the first time, the starter and batteries were ok.
First i thought it has to do with outside temperatures, the problem occured only in the morning when the engine was cold, but during the starting attempts i noticed that no smoke was coming out of the exhaust, so i thought that no fuel gets into the engine, and so it was the solenoid valve was defect.
My mechanic changed the solenoid valve and everything was perfect (for about a month), until today.
I wanted to fire up my baby the starter goes normally and nothing my life turned black again, also i noticed no smoke.

Could there be an electrical problem which destroys the solenoid?
How can i check the solenoid?
Can i override the solenoid manually and how?

Thanks for any suggestions
