Strap BOOT0 High

If READ out protection is still enabled then you perhaps have other problems. What were you doing prior to this? Is the supply working properly?

Did you used SWD pins ? (PA13 and PA14) if yes, you need hold reset, connect at the same time by using STLink utility, and when you connect it, do chip erase.

And don't use PA13 and PA14 anymore

Did you used the ST-Link Utility (

) as suggested by Linas?

still have problem.should i change the micro?

Well that's certainly an option of last resort.

Are you sure all the surrounding circuitry is functioning correctly? The supplies would be something I'd check, along with the voltage on the VCAP pins. I'd also connect a serial port, probably USART3, and try using the System Loader, initially via the Flash Loader Demonstrator.

If the core is powered and not responsive, then yes I'd probably switch the chip out, or experiment with another Discovery board.
