Default handbrake not staying up

hey all

i have had my 99 au fairlane ghia for 3 weeks or so now..
it has 78k kays on the clock.. and its running nicley..

but i released the handbrake the other day as i always do (just pushed the button in.. lifted it slightly and let it down) and it made a funy noise.. and now it wont ratchet UP.. it just falls back down.. the handBRAKE still works(stops the rear wheels)

i could hear the ratchet noise as tho it was just not clicking in.. but now NO NOISE..

i took off the handbrake boot and everything appears to be fine.. only thing i can think of is the lil prong that sticks into the ratchet parts has sheered off??

any ideas fellas?
cheers
