We just got back from vacation and i had powered my Mini V2 down while we were gone. So it's been a little while since I've tried to pull a shot and when I went to try it this morning I had some issues. After what should have been enough time there was still no espresso coming out, so I thought the grind might be too fine, but that's when I noticed the pressure gauge was showing the needle pointing straight up (no pressure). After stopping the pull I removed the portafilter and the puck was solid and wet, but by then I had only gotten a slight dribble out of one of the spouts.
I'm hoping it's something simple like I somehow didn't power the unit up right when I got home from vacation, but I fear it's more than that. Steaming pressure is fine.

Re: Mini 2 Won't Pull Shots
no alarm lights? Try again. Make sure there's water in the tank. Do you get water through the group with no portafilter in?

Water does come through if there's no coffee but it slows down after a bit.

I pulled the reservoir, pulled the filter, washed everything down, reassembled and tried again. After a few runs its working again. Not sure what the issue was. I did get three yellow lights on one attempt, but I think that was because the feed hose was pinched after I reassembled the reservoir.
