Unhappy Trouble with my P08...

I have a P08 "G" type with a DMW top part [not the original s/42]. Sorry I can't figure the exact name of the parts, but in the "Parts & Disassembly" of this website, the numbers of the diagram do not match the written parts section...

I fired a shot today with it for the first time since I got it (6 years). First shot went well, but all 4 subsequents were dead fuses: the firing pin didn't hit harder the ammo, so they didn't go. Removing the 4th cartridge, my Luger stayed jam like that:
I just can't put it back like I used to, when I disassembled + assembled it before a couple of times before. It's stuck hard, and the spring in the magazine frame is "crushed": impossible for it to get a normal extend in the hand portion. Just like something inside the frame is blocking everything to get back to its normal position after loading or firing. But I can't see what it is, because I can't move the damn top frame!

If anybody can help me somehow, please answer on this board. I can't see what I can do to fix this, as I never had such a problem before. It would be a shame to scrap this nice gun only after that...
