It could be a dislodged linkage or the latch is bad.

You don't need that many tools but pdoblem is if the door cannot be opened, taking the panle off would some sort of force. Try rolling down the window glass and look in from the slot with a torch light to see if anything is dislodged and you might be able to unlock a strong wire or ruler.
