I would take the filter off for the purpose of testing it out, just in case it is on the wrong one. Just put it back when you are finished sorting out the problem.
>From my Brewtus II experience, you should be able to hear if the pump is not getting enough water as it will speed up. Assuming it is a lack of water, my suspicion would be that the pipe kinked/blocked just where it goes through the gap into the boiler section of the machine. Switch the machine off and uplug from the wall. Remove the covers and follow the pipe from the tank, check where the pipe goes between the gap. Take the pipe out off the gap, switch the machine back on and try pulling a shot to see if it can build pressure with the blank portafilter installed. If it does then you know where the problem is, otherwise unplug again and follow the pipe checking for any other kinks in the pipe. My Brewtus IIIR had an issue with the supply pipe kinking, when pulled slightly, and slowing water to the rotary pump when I was pulling shots.
