Dwarven Mechanism stuck

Dwarven Mechanism stuck - Free stock photo of christmas, cold, evergreen

I'm trying to get the Elder Scroll via Septimus Signus. I've fought through the entire dwarven ruins and killed everything, but now the Dwarven Mechanism is stuck. I went through my inventory and I'm sure I have the ball to activate it, but when I click E to activate the mechanism, nothing happens. I'm not even getting an error message or anything.

I think it's a glitch; it's as if I hadn't even pressed the button. I tried closing and reopening my game, getting my character killed, and rebooting my computer, but nothing worked.

What else can I do? Thanks for your time!

How do I open the Dwarven Mechanism?

The Mechanism can only be activated with an Attunement Sphere that can be obtained during the quest "Discerning the Transmundane." Once activated, the Mechanism rotates and unlocks a stairwell beneath it that leads to the ancient Dwemer ruins of Blackreach. These Mechanisms seem to be the only way to access Blackreach.

What do you need to activate the Dwarven Mechanism in Mzinchaleft?

You will need the Attunement Sphere to activate the Dwarven Mechanism, which can be obtained from Septimus Signus at Septimus Signus's Outpost which is north of the College of Winterhold. Once it is, the floor will drop down into a spiral staircase that will lead directly to a set of doors giving access to Blackreach.

How do I get out of Raldbthar deep market?

Raldbthar Deep Market has a puzzle where you have to remove bones that are jamming four large gears (one is hidden under water), the bones jamming them have to be interacted with even if they don't look like they are actually in the way of the gears. Then a bridge activated by a button should be able to be lowered.

How do you open the door in Raldbthar deep market?

The first button will activate a fire trap, the third button will open the gate, and the other two do nothing. Through the door beyond the open gate is a room with a gate, a few leveled Falmer, and two chaurus behind another gate to the left (south) that is novice locked.
