2013 Apple Thunderbolt Display blinking on and off

I have a 2013 Thunderbolt Display that has been a problem-free champ for my small business. For the past year, I have used it with a 2020 Mac Mini M1. A week ago it started blinking on and off. I have checked all the connections, but that hasn't changed anything. Is it time to buy a new monitor?

It could be the cable or your TB3 to TB2 adapter. I would get a TB cable and connect directly to the open TB port on the monitor. This will validate if the octopus cable is bad. Also try another adapter (I know not cheap).
