power seat failure 850

Please help I canh hardly drive the car. The driver's seatback is in a very forward position and the power for the back is not working - all I hear is a quiet whirring. Is there any way i can get the seat back without the power assist? If anyone has the answer please hurry - Thanks
John

The cable is no longer being turned by the motor. There is a way to fix it on volvospeed.com. In the mean time move your seat bottom down in back and up in front.
