Analog Rytm mk1 random pad lights flickering no sound

Ever since 1.70 my Analog Rytm mk1 no longer works. The light up process works fine. The calibration fails on the 2nd portion. Then random pads just have flickering lights (almost as if they are being played but they are not). No sound comes out.

The pad lights become normally functioning when I click the mute page or other pages - meaning they stop flickering and become solid.

It seems like it is receiving phantom info on the flickering pads - but this happens even when I have no midi or usb connected. Anyone else have this issue? Test mode doesn’t change anything.

I sent a support tix but Elektron can take a month or more to respond sometimes.
