## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF AND POSITIVE RATE WAS CALLED PM TRIED TO RETRACT THE LANDING GEAR, NOTHING HAPPENED WITH THE GEAR, WE WERE STILL SHOWING 3 GREEN DN SYMBOLS. WHILE TRYING TO RETRACT THE GEAR THE GEAR LEVER DID FEAL POSSIBLY OUT OF PLACE OR NOT QUIT CONNECTED. EVENTUALLY AFTER TALKING TO MX AND FODM WE DECIDED TO USE THE "LANDING GEAR WILL NOT RETRACT QRH" AND THAT REQUIRES US TO USE THE GEAR BLOW DOWN SYSTEM, AFTER LANDING GEAR BLOW DOWN WE RETURNED TO SAN JOSE. NJA REP REVIEWED ARES FILES AND STATED,  GEAR HANDLE INTERLOCK SOLENOID RELEASED ON BOTH PCB CIRCUITS, BUT HANDLE DID NOT MOVE TO UP POSITION.    ARRIVED AT ACFT & PERFORMED RESET OF THE BLOW DOWN BOTTLE AGAIN. RESET SYSTEM & PERFORMED OPS CHKS OF GEAR EXTENSION/RETRACTION SYS.  GEAR RETRACTED & EXTENDED SUCCESSFULLY.
