Default Driver's door not locking/unlocking

So, kinda strange problem. I got into my car ('08 IS250 AWD) to drive to work last night and had no issues whatsoever. When I got to work I tried to lock my doors from the inside and all but the driver's door locked. I thought that was odd, so I get out and try to lock it from the outside and nothing happened. I tried to lock it with the button on the key fob and again nothing.

I thought maybe it was my key so I tried the spare and still nothing is happening. I'm also not having any other issues that would make it seem key related. Car starts without issues. Trunk opens like normal. It's just the driver's door.

Any insight would be great. I bought the car used and it is still under warranty so at the very least I can take it in and get this fixed. I'd rather fix it myself it it ends up being something simple though.

Servo can be dead or the locking mechanism jammed/ broken.

Thanks, I'll look into the servo and check the mechanism when I get some time.
