Dell 2407 WFP stand was stuck
I was getting ready to pack my monitor up to move it the other day, and I pushed the release button for the mount on the monitor stand. A second or two after the monitor was disengaged from the stand, I heard a loud “twang” coming from the stand. I didn’t think much of it because it looked fine, but later on I found it was stuck, in the lowest position.
The stand holds the monitor just fine, but it is about an inch too low in this position and I can not for the life of me get the height adjustment release button on the back to go down. The stand is really stuck. (Source: hardforum.com)
I had the same problem with my display and tried to solve it on smart way for months. After virtually fixing everything else in my flat, I started working on this problem again today. I hate unsolved problems. As there were no other options left, I used the “hammer method” and there we go! 
my monitor is stuck in the same bottom position as well…..so you just hammered up from the bottom of the monitor? anything else i need to know?

Dec. 17, 2010 This problem just happened to me and I thought I had broke the monitor stand. I then decided I would check the Internet to see if some one else had had the problem, not thinking I would find anything. Well, I found this solution and it worked for me as well. PTL

To release the monitor you have to push the button in the back of the stand (of course) BUT then push the monitor DOWN to release the mechinism. Sound counter intuititive but that’s how the release works. It should rise all the way to the top then you can slide it to whatever height you want.
