Hi b76,
I'd slide the seat all the way forward which should give you enough room to take the seat back's rear cover off.
This will give you access to the long tab that the seat release button activates. Once the catch at the bottom is released you should be able to tip the seat back forward to see what's happened to the button release.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan
