At 05:41:46, the Captain asked the First-Officer if the trim is functional. The First-Officer has replied that the trim was not working and asked if he could try it manually. The Captain told him to try.
At 05:41:54, the First-Officer replied that it is not working.
So it is a bit more than 1 minute after the cutout switches had been actioned.
