It seems the air from the compressor isnt getting to the chamber to force the staple out, but it also doesnt seem as if their is any air leaking out. Its not the compressor either because my brad nailer works fine.

I should have added, yes i've checked the staples, there is no jam, and there are staples in there. The best i can say is that it seems like the air is leaking because its not getting to where it needs to be to push the staple out. I dont hear or feel any air leaking. When i hit the plunger on the gun, it doesnt give the same sound or reaction that it did when its working.

1. Check to see that you have nails in the gun :)
2. It may be jammed
3. Take all the nails out, oil it up, and shoot it until oil stops spraying out (aim it at an unfinished section of floor) and try it again

See if a staple is jammed in the driver mechanism.
Sometimes a staple will get jammed and make the the driver get stuck in the out position and unable to retract, alot of times it will seem like it's getting no air.
Make sure to disconnect air before checking it .
If that's not the problem, then it's probably a seal, but I doubt it, because you would hear air leaking if it was.
Good Luck
