The button has a round bar attached behind it which goes down a shaft which in turn pushes a small lever inside the unit which then works the air/vacuum. My guess is that little level was sticking and not returning properly to release the button to its start position

Re: sticking toilet press in flush button
never had to touch either of those. All I did was remove the button from the unit and check the small lever INSIDE that unit in the photo and put it back. i have looked at the SIAMP web site and it doesn't even mention the type I have, maybe because it has been upgradedI think you are looking at the wrong part of the system which would normally be what I would go for as well, but in this case definately not . It was just a sticking button that is forward facing on the panel , not a top down setup .
it flushed ok and refilled ok but the refill did not actuated the vacuum enough to work the sprung little lever.
So it was just a case of a sticking lever inside that unit is my guess.
Te cistern is several years old and moving parts inside that unit may have time/wear causing it to stick partially. by taking it apart and refitting meant different contacts sections which is all it needed.
Have to say I understand what you are all trying to get at but in this case the solution was within that unit in the photo

Re: sticking toilet press in flush button
The spring on the left releases the button modul from the unit so that large spring comes away. Thinking on it, it might have even been that large return spring causing the sticking problem.
doesn't take much in the way of a foreign object to cause that. You can just see the dust/dirt build up on the pipe to the left
