first off, does the jack have hydrolic oil in the resevoir? if not, fill it up and try again. if this still doesnt work the "o" ring has probably rotted and needs replaced or just go buy a new jack. hope this helps you.

How do you repair a hydraulic jack that fails to lift?

Assuming you have checked the hydraulic fluid and it's OK, you could look into replacing the seals on the compression cylinder, but with jacks as inexpensive as they are these days, it would be easier and maybe even cheaper to replace the jack.
