Passenger door wont open, from inside and outside!
My 00 passenger side door wont budge 
. It did in the morning once, but sounded like something broke off or came loose while i pulled the exterior handle open. After i shut it(i was at work, i had to) it wouldnt open again. The interior handle worked once after. After that nothing from either.
Is it possible to take the door panel off while the door is shut?
i really want to open it up to see if i can fix it before i take it to the dealer.
or is there any other way of getting my door open?
im driving my no so comfortable 91 mr2 now and i already want the s2000 back to normal.

As far as your problem goes, I can't help
. I've never come across something like this.

Take your car to a locksmith and let them open it for you. There's a tool that slips between the door an window that they use to trip the lock. Expect this would cost $30-50 bucks. Since the lock is electric , might have to disconnect the battery, reset CEL's ect.
Or... look at a picture of the mechanism and using a bent coat hanger, try to do it yourself first. You might be able to save some money with a successful "jimmie"
