Serial Issue With Arduino Mega 2560

Hello everybody,

Since a few time I have an issue With My Mega 2560
It is now impossible to upload sketches with the USB port

I had to buy an USBTINYISP which can upload sketches

Blink sketch is working fine on it

But... when I try to print data on the serial monitor Nothing appear.

I tried the loop back test : the leds tx and rx are blinking when I send text to arduino but Nothing is printed on the serial monitor.

Driver seems ok

I tried to burn the bootloader here is what I get :

I hope that you can help me with this and that my board is not dead...
The serial port still not working

Thank you for reading

Sorry I messed up and this post is at the wrong place...
Could you please tell me how to move it?
