Not unscrewed

Hardware write-protect enabled. cannot set Boot Options / GBB Flags. If it is not unscrewed, it will be solved by unscrewing it, but it may come out regardless of whether it is unscrewed. It is a problem of contact around the screw. If you have a tester, make sure there are no shorts between the fan-shaped metals.

Does Ctrl + D not work?

Try changing the keyboard to one with a different keyboard layout.
