hi, try using a screw driver as a stricker pin to activate the lock mech when the boot is open. if it clicks locked and you can then release it with the button, repeat it a few times to be 100% sure the mech is working. if it doesnt do this then the mech is dead im affraid. if it is working then the pin on the rear panel will have slipped down or bent, preventing the mech from engaging the pin. so you would have to adjust the pin up so that the mech can engage the pin again. capiche? haha

 

good luck pal.
