Hi:

Only on the driver's side door, the door handle does not work, from outside nor from inside. Locking and unlocking is working fine with key and from the inside button (Power locks).
Thanks for ur time and suggestion/s.

you are going to have to get the interior panel off the door to be able to undo the door and replace the broken component .. it is not going to be easy but is the only way i'm afraid !
