There's a little latch like thing you press with your finger to bring hte motor back up. Its where the pull down catches the latch on the hatch.

take a screwdriver, a big one - a slot edge one. then push down in the center of the latch mechanism and it will go down and the hook will click over as it the hood was closed, which it will not be.
then go to the center counsole and hit the open button. if that does not work you need a new motor.
