I press the lever under the hood up hard but nothing happens. Is there another way to open it?

My guess is that I made a mistake when I reassembled the plastic trim around the latch last time I had the hood open. I had to replace a coolant temperature sensor, so the battery door, plastic backing and the plastic trim around the latch was taken off. Somehow the mistake is preventing the latch from opening properly.

Any suggestions for how to proceed?

By the way, I see the request for moving to Facebook. Please do not to this, it is a completely stupid idea. This site has immense value as a reference, you can search quickly, access old threads easily. Facebook actively destroys the reference usefulness, promoting a check every five minute mentality for fear of missing out.
 
Does this mean you can reach the handle but it's movement is obstructed and you can't lift it at all to disengage the latch? If you can get a long screwdriver in there you may have to force it or bend something.
