Default Door handle not unlatching passenger door.

Hey guys, thought I'd turn to you all for a help request.

**Vehicle:** 2009 Audi A5, S-Line, 3.2L

**Situation:** The other day, seemingly out of the blue, my passenger outside door handle decided to stop unlatching the door. You pull on the handle and it moves much easier than I'm used to (almost as if there is less friction, or said another way, less force it required to pull the handle). When you pull it out, nothing unlatches and the door remains closed.

Has anyone seen this situation before? I've tried unlocking, relocking, engine on, engine off, etc. Interestingly, if you open the door from the INSIDE handle, it works just fine. Window and power on the door operate correctly as well.

Before I take the door apart (because for some reason i suspect a cable has come loose), is there anything you all might recommend I try??

NB: I'm quite adept at repairing, dismantling, remantling, etc...
