Default Mending an office chair

My office chair is not happy. The height adjustment on it has stopped
working and it is now set at the lowest level. If I try raising it (by
pressing the lever) nothing happens, if I physically pull the seat up,
it drops straight back down.

I've had a look at it, but there is nothing obvious (apart from a screw
falling out, and I can't for the life of my work out where it came
from). I'm not sure what the mechanism for controlling the height is,
either a spring or gas strut I would think.


Any suggestions ?
