I bought this used bambino for very little money as a defect unit.
When trying to run water through it, it just stop.
The descale program works and the pump engages
Can it still be limescale ?
Do I keep on descaling or am i missing something ?

Do you have a bambino using your bambino?!?
I have heard of an issue about the Bambino models getting stuck and having lights blinking after a descale. The issue is mainly that the process was interrupted. The solution I have seen is to get the booklet for it and follow the instructions to a T, There are some subs about it that explain the steps, or there may even be some youtube videos on it.
You may get a better answer tomorrow, but if you are up late/early and have nothing else to do, you may get it running on time for a cup today.

Omg the little hand 👆
Unclog the steam wand. Use a needle or the tool included below the water tank. Then press and hold the steam button for about 10s to purge. Should go back to normal, my babino plus did the same thing a couple days ago.
I can’t decide what’s worse: a toddler drinking coffee or using reddit.
