3 Way Head broke

Not sure what happen, but the handle will not screw in anymore, the one that controls the camera pointing up or down. It's as if the spring has increased in size and the threads are not catching but it just randomly happened. Anyone ever have this happen? I can't seem to get it to catch and while it's an excuse to get the Manfrotto 488RC2 ball head I want, but can't technically afford it so the other half would say I need to just suffer.

So, any help? Get a new spring perhaps? Oh right, it's the head that comes with Dynatran tripods. And no "buy this" please, doesn't help. Thanks!

How about photos so we have some idea what the problem looks like?

Will do tonight, but there's nothing to see. The handle won't screw in where it normally did. I thought it was the threading but without the spring it still does. Idk, I'll take some tonight when I get home.
