Jumper BOOT0 to VDD, and restart the board to eliminate user code as an issue.

If you still have an unknown device you need to make sure you have current drivers. Download the most recent ST-Link Utilities, and install that. Can you see the board now?

Shorting on the bench? Conductive foam?

Measure the 5V, 3V, and 1.25V on the VCAP capacitors?

ST-Link Utility does not detect the board, the 5V source has only 2.89V, and the 3V source has 2.46V, the first thing i find wrong is D1, it has more than 2V between A-K terminals, so there is 5V in A and 2.89V in K, as i know K terminal goes to 5V source may be the D1 the problem?
