Definitely worth checking the pump/pump tubing, but might be the head. If absolutely nothing is firing, things like head cable and fuses would be pretty suspect. Should be getting something with a fresh priming.
If you have the installation/setup guide (Can download from Mimaki as well), it shows how to set the pressure on the printer. Usually done on installation, but those valves can creep out over time.
Last I checked, they haven't even released pricing on the UCJV330. That said, one thing I HATE about early printers is that there is rarely a cheap way to get revised parts for cheap to fix the screwups. Like updating a UJF from a wiper nozzle to a suction nozzle for better head reliability, $3K...

Had a thread on chips but it got black-holed. If under warranty, you are best sticking with Mimaki supplies in-date to comply with their end. We run all used machines here, so we do all sorts of dumb, fun and crazy stuff with ours.
If anyone is running a UJF-30/6042, can do that as well. Mine are all gone/down at the moment. (They do use CE4 heads, but similar waveform properties to the GEN5)
Can get self-resetting chips for both PR-200 and LH100, so all good there. Primer is cursed for me, but I use the channel for homebrew metallic ink and it basically gives me an extra spot color.
Could be clogged lines at your capping station not draining properly, try executing a Disway Wash and seeing if the lines are draining properly. Not uncommon for the lines to become partially or fully clogged.
