fill up ink won't stop?

[geckografix]

Hello again, all.
Background: I had my Mimaki JV3 at one of my locations where the heat failed and the inks froze and exploded.
I moved the printer to another location and replaced the inks, pumps and dampers.
The capping station is holding fluids, the dampers have ink.
I would love to do a test print but when I turn the machine on, it goes to "fill up ink" and clicks, and clicks, and clicks.. I can literally hear ink running into the waste container.
I have had no success in finding a technician near enough to come take a look at it (any help on this would be great, too!).
Advice welcomed.
Thanks!!!!

but your machine is full of ink, good news
the fillupink is obnoxiously long, but it shouldn't fill half your waste container. if it really is endless, then:
did you try powering-down, unplugging, and discharging your machine? (press green power button a few times when back switch is turned-off)
might just be stuck in a loop and needs a proper reset.
