2005 CIVIC LX Windows Problem, Help please??

Hi Everyone
I just bought a used 2005 Honda CIVIC LX 4 door last week and I love it (first time purchasing a honda)
However, when I bought it I didn't check the windows and there is a problem with the Passenger side window.

When I put the window down from the DRIVER'S SIDE, the window comes down, however, when I put the window up it does not come up.
Similarly, from the PASSENGER SIDE, when I put the window down it will not come down, however, when I put the window up it does go up.

I am not a huge technical person with cars but I do alot of stuff by myself.
Can someone possibly assist me on what the problem is and a simple way to fix it?
I really love this civic but I want the windows to work properly.

Pull the inside panel and disconnect the window motor connector. Take your cordless drill battery and using jumpers wires, jump from the battery to the window motor both ways to see if it goes up and down. If it doesn't go both ways you need a new motor/assembly. If it does go both ways we'll troubleshoot the master switch.

Hi
Thanks for your reply.
Is it possible you can refer me to a step by step with pictures/video on what to do?
B/c I have never done something like this before and I kinda don't understand what you are saying.
I would appreciate that.
Thanks

Sorry about the fuzzy pics, crappy phone cam. And sorry about the orientation, photobucket is acting up today.
