It appears the the cocking mechanism is not working. With the cartridge open the power driver does not fully retract when the release is pushed in. Any ideas?
The answer to this problem is simple. When you pull out the mechanism to reload the staples, there is a small metal black piece on top of the mechanism attached to a spring that drives the staples. When reloading, often times the driving piece gets flipped backward. All you have to do is flip this piece over and is should snap back into place. Fixed!
Can you give me more detail? Flip what backwards and how?

For PaperPro Prodigy. Best stapler I have used but after about 8 years the flat steel staple driver broke. To repair, remove the bottom by forcing it back, force the stapler halves apart with a flat screw driver and the top comes off. The springs and levers are on one half and they will not fly apart. I couldn't find the staple driver part (on the left) so go to the store and buy a new stapler.

There may be a staple or a piece of a staple jambed in the driver. Sometime taking a screw driver and carefully pushing the drive back will clear the problem.

You may nave too many staples remove half of them and see it that helps
SOURCE: Swingline Stapler Staples Only After You Open It Up....
When you lift up the top of the stapler (as though you are going to put staples in), does the pusher slide freely back and forth? It might be getting stuck at some point and not pushing the staples (either due to a worn pusher spring, or friction). First (after removing the staples) try spraying some light oil on the mechanism and lifting the top part of the stapler up and down a few times and observe how easily it moves back and forth. Also, with the top open try GENTLY sliding back and forth a little - if it slides fine with no sticking, try loading staples and using stapler. If it slides ok, but doesn't quickly return to it's "normal position" when pulled so as to put tension on the spring, rhen the spring may be worn and need replacing.
