When they say there was no response from the engines does it mean the engines did not react to the demand?
From the AAIB today:
At approximately 600 ft and 2 miles from touch down, the Autothrottle demanded an increase in thrust from the two engines but the engines did not respond. Following further demands for increased thrust from the Autothrottle, and subsequently the flight crew moving the throttle levers, the engines similarly failed to respond.
So the answer is 'yes'.
