Does anyone know where I can order an extra chip that I use as a backup? Also, does it have to be a Winbond W39V040BPZ or can I get an alternative?
SST SST-49LF080A will also work.
Part Number: SST49LF080A-33-4C-NHE

Alright, I think I will try this one then, also based on the other replies that the Winbond will probably not flash with the chipset I use.

Must not be Winbond at all.
And I don't know about others, but I haven't been able to get that chip to program with the v8237r and flashrom. It programs fine in a programmer and works fine, but either erase or write doesn't work correctly. I've successfully used PMC (now pflash?) pm49fl004 and winbond w38v080a, which are both part of BIOS Savior RD1s.
I'll see if I can find pm49fl004 as well. Is it compatible with the Winbond chip I have?

I had the same chip (it was really ruined after some failed erase tries, it even answered with an invalid vendor ID) and replaced it with a SST chip of the same size. I can dig up the model number of the new compatible chip if the other answers you got were insufficient.
Is it the same SST chip Bari suggested?
Thanks everyone!
Kind regards, Richard Stellingwerff.
