im guessing either the little thing that grabs onto the cable that pulls your opening mechanism came loose or you just need to pull up on your hood a little, then open it then it should work. sometimes these latches are a little screwy.

Mine used to do that, but a few liberal treatments with WD-40 and dry silicone got the system working flawlessly. But, you could have a problem with your latch I suppose.

When mine was stuck, I had to push down on the hood front and center then pop it up by hand, or, a hard whack by the rear hinges sometimes gets it loose. Worth a shot
