is there any resistance in the handle? the cable could have slipped off or the handle has unclipped. open up the handle (two bolts from the back, behind the bit of trim) and it should be obvious!

this is how people snap their handle, being too forceful with it.

happened to me, but i could still open from the inside. like the above, just take it off and check everything and give it a good coat of some form of lubricant.

yea, the plastic on the inside (behind the exterior door handle) just pulls off as it is on the pop retainer clips ;)
