From the distance it's difficult to make a diagnosis. Probably the
microcontroller is defective and has to be replaced (but that's only a
guess). It is available as a spare part from the representative in your
country. To be on the safe side I'd recommend to return the module for
repair as you need a special tool to remove the microcontroller from the
socket.
