    The mechanism works by pressing the threaded bar attached to the box section in the attached pictures down and it should come up.

    The TV is mounted on a frame which fits over the threaded bar so you can press down on the TV

    The unpainted metal lug in the left in first picture acts as the stop when u press down on the threaded bar

    Its fixed to the inner box section so unless the unit opens cant get at it

    Next picture shows the bottom and the other two show two screws on each side about mid way down

    Worked fine for a while and how now stopped.

    Thanks as always

    So got it to extend by pressing it down using cramps, so its now fully extended.

    Tried to unscrew the bottom bolt, picture two, the allen key broke!

    Any thoughts on how to release it, other than drill it out

    More leverage, get stronger, longer allen keys and if needs be use an extension bar with a deep socket over the end of the allen key to get more leverage. An impact driver would probably shift it too. I'd drill it as a last resort.
