All this talking about a single pin that is causing this is making me think about something...
Great!
This mainboard has 2 jumpers. Each next to each other... One is "BIOS RESET" and the other is "CRISIS PARK"... Could that CRISIS PARK maybe connect to pin 8 to disable the flashrom writes???
Note that only the top 64kb of the flash chip is locked now. But yes - it could certainly be controlled a jumper.
I guess if i measure the voltage and/or ohm that should tell me?
Correct. If there is 0 ohm between the middle pin of that jumper and pin 8, move the jumper and try running flashrom again.
To really make sure it's good to verify that voltage between pins 16 and 8 actually changes when you disconnect that jumper.
