You can't manually fold them down. The usual problem is that the gearing system has fractured, with the seat in 1 position or another, and the entire mechanism must be replaced.

1. You say that the button doesn't work. But are you sure that when you press the button, do you hear anything happening with the motor? Again, usually the motor will spin, but the seal does not move...much.
2. Does the other seat work properly?
