my scarlett solo's usb led is randomly blinking

i thought i was bugging when i saw at the corner of my eyes that the green light on my interface was blinking, not until i saw it fully turned off but i can still use the unit somehow. i was watching a youtube video when i tried to lower the volume from the interface and yes i saw it fully off which is weird coz i can still hear clear audio from it with no static or weird audio artifact whatsoever, i tapped my microphone and it still registered an audio, i touched the tip (heh) of my instrument cable connected to it to generate noise from it, it did, then the led light from the usb logo slowly started showing up again until it is fully stable, then it started blinking again. is it cooked or is it just the led light dying? i've had this for like almost 5 years now tho idk about how long this unit has been on the shelf before it got to me
