I've moved your question from General Tech Help to X260 forum. This is the place to post technical questions about your model.

The usual reason for sticking is dirt or debris in the track. The motor trips to avoid damage or overheating:





If holding the switch as described doesn't override the anti-trap mechanism, try a reset:





If that still fails to resolve the issue, dismantling is likely to be required.
