Many thanks to Buddy Lumpkin, Christopher Dupre, Audet Benoit, and John McIntire.

John McIntire and Audet Benoit suggested reset the resetting the NVRAM to factory
default with Stop-N.

Buddy Lumpkin suggested reprogramming the NVRAM.

I've tried both suggestion but didn't work me.

Christpher Dupre suggested replacing the chip.

The chip is on the way.
