It's unlocked, but won't open from outside or inside. Please help!

This isn't that rare.

Has the battery been disconected or gone flat?

Can normally be cured by a hearty 'Slap' from inside, low down towards front from memory, or the trim can be removed ant the actuator arm reset with a screwdriver.

There were pics on here not that long ago. :)

Thanks. The battery went flat overnight which I thought might be the cause, but now it's recharged it still won't open . I'll try the engineer method and go and give it a thump :D
