The two ANU trim inputs shortly before the end indicate that a) the master trim switches were back on, and b) the trim motor was capable of moving the stabilizer. I really don’t know whether the manual trim can be frozen while the trim motor still works, but I suspect it would be the other way around.
Just a minor technical point. If a heavily loaded jackscrew cannot move in the nose up direction, that does not mean it cannot move in the nose down direction. Consider the case of a scissors jack under a heavy vehicle, and you get the picture.
