Angry Door handle won't work

Got a 1995 Custom Sedan and the door froze shut last night and while trying to open it, apparently something broke in the latch assembly or something because now you can't open the door from the outside. The handle just flaps loosely. A new handle is $45 from the dealer but before I go in and get one, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it might just be a cable or spring or something that broke or came loose. I'm just not sure how these door handles (exterior) function mechanically and I'm not in any position to pay $100 an hour for some lachey at the dealership to take the door apart and put it back together so I'll be trying it on my own. Any advice/information you could give me would be great. Do you think it's the handle itself or something inside the door? Ever change one yourself and if so, how long did it take and was it difficult or not?
