L LED became very dim

I have been using this arduino uno r3(not the original) for a while and earlier the L led was bright but now it doesnt even light up well remains very dim. Is there something i need to worry about . programs seem to run fine though
is my arduino damaged ??

Make sure the blink sketch is loaded onto the Arduino.

even when blink code is used the Led is very dim
I dont mean that LED is totally turned off, it is blinking and it does evrything perfectly. Its just that it has become very dim now.

Actually i have been doing some projects recently that involved high currents(about 1A)
is there any chance that i might have broke it ?? or is it fine and just a normal issue

What voltage?

not high voltage actually just high current(1A) voltage was normal just 5V

Drawing 1A from a pin is more than enough to complete burn it out, just be amazed it is still working.
