Window doesn't work as in - doesn't even move or it moves, but gets stuck?
Could be anything from a broken regulator to a burned up motor to a faulty switch to damaged wirind to the motor or switch.
First thing to do is pull the door panel off so you can take a look. If you have a broken fastener - it happens - just order more (dealership, bodyshop, or salvage yard).
Is it a DIY job? I'd say it is within the realm of your average DIYer. You have to pop the switch (driver's side control panel), remove door handle, and armrest before you pop the panel off - otherwise, it won't come loose. Of course, anytime your working around wiring - disconnect the battery before you strat monkeying around in there. Even with the battery, most of the wiring will not be energize, but you still want to disconnect the battery and a safety precaution.
But if you are having a hard time taking off the door panel, then I would just stop there and have someone else do it. The job is not hard, but you will need to get at the door and possibly do some rewiring and simple diagnsotic work. If this is not to you liking, a good shop would be able to do it for you.
Sometimes paying a bit more will pay off at the end, definitely cheaper than having to bring it in to fix something that broke in your attempt to fix it.
