The green dot in the following image indicates that there’s filament in the extruder. I have taken apart the 4 way AMS hub and there’s no broken filament in there at all.
You are right and I don’t own an A1 to know exactly what to do with that extruder. But there should be someone who will step up to help you disassemble the extruder.
There’s literally nothing broken or dirty in the extruder. The only thing I saw was the left over red from my last print in the nozzle/heat block where it was cut (this is normal).
Is the green light still on in Bambu Studio? If it is not, maybe the switch was stuck open as if there was filament still there. I have had this happen to me. Still on the same extruder 2000hrs later.
Ticket is a good idea. For me it sounds like the hall sensor (filament detection) is damaged. If there is no filament at the sensor but still showing that there is something, it must be a sensor defect. And there is no filament, because you removed it from extruder and hotend.
The last try … maybe … try to disconnect and reconnect the sensor. Last time this helps me.
