Hello,

 I request your help for a little problem.

I try to unbrick my MSI Gaming 5 Z97 motherboard, using flashrom using a raspberry Pi 4b vi the JSPI1 port.

I plugged it like this  :

    Hold 0V      o     o    WP 3.3V

                       x     o    

                       o     o    GND
Your flash chip is in an unknown state.

I tried to put HOLD at 3.3V and let the CMOS battery but it is always the same message.

Maybe my chipset has an internal defect ? If yes, I think I can buy a new chip and solder it but it's a brutal solution ;)

I would really be pleased if you could give me at least a clue.

Best regards

Guillaume RALLON
