Audi A2 filler cap not opening

The petrol filler cap on my Audi A2 does not respond when the new switch is press to open the flap. Any idea why?

Probably a bad earth (alloy body), but for emergencies there is probably a release mechanism behind the load area carpeting load area side of the filler.
