No more buttons work and chirp no longer detects the device.
Does anyone have any solution or help ?

CHIRP doesn't support any DMR radios. Also, your radio has encountered a hardware failure.

I understand but, chirp announces support for my radio. (https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home)
I'm attaching the debug file in case anyone has any ideas.

Is this really a DMR radio? According to our information, it's equal to a Baofeng UV-5R, which certainly isn't DMR capable.
The debug log indicates that there's a communication issue, such as a bad cable, connector, or USB to Serial converter driver. Possibly these Wiki articles can help:

Windows notes: If you are using a generic cable with a Prolific chip, you will very likely need to downgrade your driver to version 3.2.0.0.
It can be found at http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php
MacOS notes: this OS is apparently very picky about USB to Serial cables. From what I heard, only (genuine) FTDI-based cables can be made work.
You must have the KK7DS Python runtime for Mac OSX installed.
Linux notes: Linux generally is quite good with USB to Serial converter drivers. The most likely cause for grief is a connector which doesn't provide good electrical contact.

It doesn't matter if CHIRP supports your radio or not. Your picture shows your radio locked up in the middle of booting. It has a hardware problem. No programming software will work with your radio until you get it replaced with one that works.
Also, the RT-5R is not a DMR radio (I have at least 2 of them myself). It is just a simple UV-5R variant.
