Help needed for my loo!! Please!

Hi - I hope someone might be able to help me....
I had a new loo put in about 2 years ago (one with the pushbutton flush which is built in to the lid of the cistern).
Last night one of my daughters used the loo and must have tried to flush it ... basically the pushbutton is stuck in the depressed position (it's not bouncing back up). So we can't flush the loo:eek:
I was thinking that maybe it was just stuck and that if we were able to 'pop' it back up then all would be okay ... but I cant get the lid off the cistern. It's obviously something to do with the pushbutton on the top that you can just lift the cistern lid off like you would be able to with one of the older style loos with the handle on the side.
Does anyone know how to disengage the pushbutton so that the lid can be removed?
Any help at all very much appreciated - I can't bear the thought of spending £40 + getting someone out if it's just a bit stuck ... really can't afford it right now.
Many thanks in advance

Try a bit of washing up liquid to see if it free the button0

With ours, we have a split button in the lid (for short and long flushes); we have to prise both sections out and unscrew a circular rim-thing before we can lift the lid off. Can you try to gently lever it out with a narrow blade or something?Nelly's other Mr. Hyde0

As above but some single button rims unscrew too, so try that also.A house isn't a home without a cat.
Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.
