Id probably try locking it with the key and then seeing if the button works. If not, take of the handle and see if theres anything bad looking in there!

Its only 2 bolts to get the handle off - I recon your best bet is to look inside and maybe something is loose.

Sounds like the rod has jumped of the lock.

Pull the plastic cover off the inside of the door then undo the three 10mm [spanner size] nuts holding the lock to the door and hopefully you will see that the rod just needs popping back in.

Hope this helps.
