Yep, if you can hear the solenoid operating but the upper tailgate doesn't release, the cable has very probably snapped. Remember this: The release cable for the upper tailgate is located inside the lower tailgate.
If you press the release switch and nothing happens but you can release the tailgate by holding the lock and unlock buttons on the dash, then your rear tailgate switch has failed and is probably corroded.
Good luck.............and pray you have Jeremy Beadle hands, you're going to need them.
