Dwemer Mechanism in Alftand won't activate, so I can't get to Blackreach

[iammax]

Before you ask yes I have seen Septimus Signus and gotten his items.

 

I am at the end of Alftand Cathedral for the Discerning the Transmundane quest. I beat the centurion and those two named guys who fight each other (the one with targe of the blooded). Then I am supposed to activate the Dwemer Mechanism and get to Blackreach, but it doesn't work.

 

I activate it and nothing happens. I do have the items. I do not get a message saying "you lack the required item". Just nothing happens. I don't know why.

 

Also, all of the Falmer were in reference pose (only in this room). I tried reloading, and the Falmer were fixed, but the mechanism still wouldn't activate. Is there a script to check on, or a console command to make the stairs go down?

 

I could just TCL to the door to blackreach, but I am not sure if the quest will update properly that way and I"d like to have done it semi-properly.
